Arago repositories

Marlon Smith

Hi everyone,

I'm running the Arago build that comes with the latest dvsdk.  The platform I'm using is the DM365 development kit.

I'm using the Qt demo browser, and would like to install the totem-browser-plugin.  This package is listed in the Angstrom repositories, and it is my understanding that Arago *is* Angstrom and should be able to pull from those repos.  However, if I type "opkg install totem-browser-plugin", this is what I get:

root@dm365-evm:/home/marlon/arago# opkg install totem-browser-plugin           
Package angstrom-version version 1:2009.11-r2.3 has no valid architecture, ignor
ing.                                                                           
Package base-files-dbg version 3.0.14-r89.3 has no valid architecture, ignoring.
Package base-files-doc version 3.0.14-r89.3 has no valid architecture, ignoring.
Package base-files version 3.0.14-r89.3 has no valid architecture, ignoring.   
Package sysvinit-inittab version 2.86-r48.3 has no valid architecture, ignoring.
Unknown package 'totem-browser-plugin'.                                        
Collected errors:                                                              
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package totem-browser-plugin.              
root@dm365-evm:/home/marlon/arago#

Does anyone have any thoughts?  Do I have to add the proper repositories, or are they already included? Can I use opkg to list available packages?

Thanks!

Marlon

    You are more knowledgable than me about IPKs but here's what I found. All commands done on the target with network.

    The pre-built Arago root fs images appear to NOT have the opkg database populated. Execute:

    opkg update

    Reply "yes" and few times and opkg should build it's database. I think the database resides in /var/lib/opkg in a tree of empty directories. Empty this directory to clear the database. After that, the list commands should work:

    opkg list

    The configuration files for opkg are at "/etc/opkg". Anything with a ".conf" exstension is read in. There is also a "angstrom" sub-directory presumably for Angstrom targets.

    The package "totem-browser-plugin" is not on the Arago repos. WIth the opkg configs, by default, all point to the Arago repos. I suspect you have to change the opkg config to point to the Angstrom repos and rebuild the database. In theory, copying angstrom/angstrom-dm365-evm-feed.conf.sample to angstrom-dm365-evm-feed.conf should work. You might have modify the arch.conf file to include the dm365 architecture

    Thank you Norman!  That was exactly what I needed to get going.

    Much appreciated.
