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
