IPKG is a very simple package manager for embedded devices. It’s used in various platforms:ARM, MIPS, x86… TonidoPlug could contain it and it would simplify installation process of many packages (as long as we build them) and solve a lot of questions how to build <something>.
How to install:
SSH into tonido (if you don’t know how to follow this guide: Connecting to TonidoPlug via SSH )
# test -e /opt && mv /opt /opt.bak # mkdir -p /big-disk/opt && ln -sf /big-disk/opt /opt # wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/ipkg-opt_0.99.163-10_arm.ipk # tar -xOvzf ipkg-opt_*_arm.ipk ./data.tar.gz | tar -C / -xzvf - # mkdir -p /opt/etc/ipkg # echo "src cross http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable" > /opt/etc/ipkg/armel-feed.conf # echo "src native http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/native/unstable" >> /opt/etc/ipkg/armel-feed.conf
now IPKG is installed, now SSH these commands to install a package:
# /opt/bin/ipkg update # /opt/bin/ipkg install <package>
For example as package, if you want nzbget enter:
# /opt/bin/ipkg install nzbget
you can also install the package in a certain folder with the command:
/opt/bin/ipkg -d <dest> install <package>
