Re: re mote upgrade user package using ipkg

Hey Muktabh,

When you create your Package, you should only have to use a newer version number and ipkg update/upgrade should handle the rest.

If you need more information on creating iPackages here are a few links that i used to learn to create my ipkg:

Hi Tim,
The commands are correct. But I need to update a package which I built, not
one from the gumstix repos. When I will do an update, I want it to check my
servers for updates. How do I provide ipkg this information?

thanks
Muktabh

If i understand you correctly, these commands are what you are looking
for:

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade

HI,
I have a small application added to gumstix. To update the app, I copy
the
.ipk, remove the old package and install the new .ipk (I remove since I
dont
change the version number currently)
I wish to be able to upgrade this app remotely. I plan to write a startup
script which will check if internet connection is available. If yes it
will
try to upgrade the app. I was wondering if ipkg can directly handle this
if
I use version numbers, or do i need to download the ipk file manually and
then run ipkg install app?

thanks
Muktabh
