linux/poky.git/meta/lib/oe/package_manager/ipk, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

package_manager/ipk: give out useful reason about an unmatched package

2025-09-15T16:57:24+00:00

Give out useful information when a package could not be matched. Before the change: error: opkg_solver_install: No candidates to install catch2 (null)! With this patch: error: opkg_solver_install: No candidates to install catch2 (null)! ... catch2 is a recipe. Its generated packages are: ['catch2-src', 'catch2-dbg', 'catch2-staticdev', 'catch2-dev', 'catch2-doc'] Either specify a generated package or set ALLOW_EMPTY:${PN} = "1" in catch2 recipe (From OE-Core rev: 4bcb97ab4d7622d04dbf71930ea1784c8d57c136) Signed-off-by: Chen Qi Signed-off-by: Mathieu Dubois-Briand Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

package_manager: Share more common DEB / IPK code

2024-05-28T08:38:23+00:00

Avoid code duplication by making `extract` a shared method (and retrieving the package manager specific input via an abstract method). Additionally, follow Python conventions and prefix class internal methods with "_" to indicate that they shouldn't be called externally.

package_manager: Move OpkgDpkgPM into common module

2024-05-28T08:38:23+00:00

The OpkgDpkgPM class was introduced to share common functionality between the Opkg and Debian package manager implementations. However, for unknown reasons , the refactoring done in 5bc67f55028407de78ac09f97f9a47b165ae8760 duplicated the common class into the deb and ipk modules. Undo this part of the change by moving the common base class into a newly created module. The two variants did not diverge a lot (next to the payload name generalization, the Debian variant missed 17e2eaed036e1da8e7cb42cb3de51b9523ba54ec) and as such no regressions should be expected.

ipk: Fix clean up of extracted IPK payload

2024-05-28T08:38:23+00:00

It turns out that the IPK payload tarball was actually cleaned up in the concrete package manager implementation (most likely because at some point Debian and IPK packages used different compression algorithms). Globbing removes this ambiguity so move the removal of the payload into the common extract method.

lib/package_manager/ipk: Do not hardcode payload compression algorithm

2024-05-13T14:42:27+00:00

The chosen payload compression algorithm can be changed by overriding `OPKGBUILDCMD`. Ensure that package extraction deals with this by globbing for "data.tar.*" to select the actual payload tarball.

ipk: Remove temporary package lists during SDK creation

2024-02-13T13:51:41+00:00

The temporary package lists used during SDK creation should not be shipped as part of the SDK (in particular because due to the opkg local file download optimization they are actually symlinks into the build directory). Remove them by calling the respective helper method during the SDK build. (From OE-Core rev: c18ba66da3c77f247170efd2cb350686010bef57) Signed-off-by: Philip Lorenz Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

package_manager: ipk: add OPKG_MAKE_INDEX_EXTRA_PARAMS variable

2024-02-08T10:53:13+00:00

* can be used to pass e.g. -f param to preserve user-defined fields in the index as added in: https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg-utils/commit/opkg-make-index?id=13f6281d24e17199e0fef6c2984419372ea0f86f * otherwise it will show a lot of messages like: "Lost field Author " for every package in the feed (From OE-Core rev: 6dc772fd9d5c2d90a6e32cfa4bc46ca0221f1b7f) Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

rootfs: Fix MULTILIB_RE_ALLOW to be inherit order independent

2024-01-18T10:15:58+00:00

This variable is only used by the ipk backend with multilibs. In order to make it work correctly regardless of inherit order, change the string to be space delimeted, set using += and add in the regex '|' sperator at the end of processing.

ipk: Switch to using zstd compression

2023-12-23T08:46:00+00:00

Converts IPK package generation to use zstd instead of xz. zstd has a much larger compression/speed tradeoff range allowing users to choose what suits them best, and fast decompression speeds. It also continues to support parallel compression as xz did. A new variable called ZSTD_DEFAULTS is provided to set the defaults for places that want to use zstd for compression; the zst image conversion command is also modified to use this. Finally, in order for this to function properly, opkg must include zstd support, so it is enabled all the time with no PACKAGECONFIG to turn it off.
