Or use the plugin enigma2-plugin-extensions-opkg-tools_1.2_mipsel.ipk.

This plugin enables you to create IPK's on your receiver in the folder /home/root.

 

Or use this version, I added the commands pack and unpack to create and unpack IPK's

 

The easiest way to learn is to copy and unpack a existing IPK in /home/root/

Install this IPK (and restart E2)

 

Download a skin e.g. pli-hd with

opkg download enigma2-plugin-skins-pli-hd

then unpack the skin with unpack <complete_IPK_name> so in this example

unpack enigma2-plugin-skins-pli-hd_0.1+git539+4645fe7-r0_all.ipk

Just rename the folder to something convenient, like testskin.

Now there is a folder created with the right paths. To create the IPK just use the command pack testskin. The packagename is defined in the file control in the folder CONTROL

 

Just play around a bit, it isn't hard to learn but it takes some time

IPK Creator 3.x from Persian Prince is better option as you can create .ipk using Windows. You need Java though.

Euuhhhh? Why is using Windows a better option then using your box on which you're going to try the newly created ipk anyway?

Is it faster/more reliable/easier/xxx?

You installed the plugin from where? Is it on the online feed or did you install it manually?

If you have the IPK, copy it to /home/root/ and give the command

unpack enigma2-plugin-skins-<the right name>

Rename the just created folder in e.g. MODIFIED

No you have the correct hierarchy for the skin in /home/root/.

Modify the skin in this path and adjust the file control in the folder CONTROL, at least change the versionnumber

If all your modifications are made you can create the IPK with the command

pack <name of the folder>

so in your case

pack MODIFIED

 

In your posting you are trying to download the skin but it isn't on the fed as far as I see, so I reckon you installed it manually

I installed the plugin from you but see  log!
