          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

(11:41:57) Laibsch: XorA: Can you tell me again, what would be necessary to
switch a distro (Sonkei, in this case) from ipkg to opkg?
(11:42:40) XorA: Laibsch: I think koens ipkg-compat package for angstrom, and
adding opkg, not ipkg to image
(11:43:08) Laibsch: Is the ipkg-compat really needed when you start totally
anew?
(11:43:27) Laibsch: IOW, no legacy installations, all new flashes
(11:43:52) XorA: Laibsch: no, but you probably need to teach a few
bbclasses/ipkg-collateral stuff to put stuff in /etc/opkg/
(11:43:53) Laibsch: I guess it can't hurt, but I'm just curious
(11:44:18) XorA: I guess try switch ipkg to opkg and see what breaks
(11:44:19) Laibsch: OK, I shall try with opkg to find those rough edges and
eliminate them
(11:44:28) XorA: Laibsch: awesome
(11:44:29) Laibsch: XorA: Exactly
(11:44:38) Laibsch: Expect more questions ;-)
(11:45:28) XorA: Laibsch: it should work exactly the same apart from everything
that was ipkg is now opkg, and you need to gpg sign Packages file in feeds
(11:45:51) XorA: Laibsch: and install your public key on machine before you
opkg update
(11:48:37) Laibsch: XorA: Would you consider adding a task to packages-index to
gpg-sign as in-scope for OE?
(11:49:00) XorA: Laibsch: opkg-native doesnt do signing anyway
(11:49:09) Laibsch: Installing the public key should be done via distro config,
I guess
(11:49:27) Laibsch: XorA: IOW, lots of manual work?
(11:49:32) XorA: Laibsch: and deploy/* is not a feed
(11:49:36) Laibsch: I'd try to eliminate that as much as possible
(11:49:40) Laibsch: XorA: ;-)
(11:49:46) Laibsch: That is debatable
(11:49:51) Laibsch: And has been discussed
(11:49:55) XorA: Laibsch: put a contrib script in instead
(11:50:44) XorA: find tmp/deploy -name "Packages" -exec gpg -sign \{\} \;
