remote upgrade user package using ipkg
by Anch

Rate this Message:
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 |

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

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: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg http://download.intrinsyc.com/supported/os/linux/distribution/i-linux-4.1/i-packages-1.1/src/hello-world/HOWTO-ipkg https://systemausfall.org/wikis/howto/BuildingIpkgPackages Tim Anch wrote: Hi Tim, The commands are correct.
