All feed management was removed a long time ago from OE because a) it's out of scope b) can't be done right in an automated fashion And after discovering some bugs in ipkg-utils a while ago it seems you have to manually munge the Packages file to get something that ipkg will handle correctly when upgrading stuff. So whichever way you look at it it's going to add broken behaviour to OE. I don't want to explain to users why their 'feeds' don't work because they disabled common sense because 'OE generated it'. But but but but but... OE generates feeds now as well!! Right, deploy/ipk contains subdirectories people could abuse as feeds if they want, but I wouldn't recommend it. So *if* people *need* OE to generate feeds, there you have them. However, I strongly oppose adding know broken behaviour to satisfy lazy people. regards, Koen PS: find */ -name "*.ipk" -exec mv '{}' ./ \; -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFF5v34MkyGM64RGpERAjI0AJ4tbIeCUQoeurXBhlJ8vdFmQ0AD0QCZAVSW EUO+7SF5AFM4BwLZyTj89tc= =xAzY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
