foreign repository

[Jaap de Jong]

Hi All!

I have this repository filled with about 50 packages.
It is not created with openembedded.
Still I would like to include them in my rootfs.
What are my options?

Thanks!
Jaap

You can read OE wiki regarding overlays/layers.
Also, you can use Koen's Angstrom scripts for no-brains configuration process.
Also, bitbake manual and OE existing layers are your friends.

Thanks!

It was never my intention to create new recipes for all the packages 
that are in this foreign repository.
I would have to update every 2 weeks or so to keep in sync with that 
repository.
Don't want that!

I only want to install the package that is in that repository and its 
dependencies.

This is what I did.
Added the foreign repository in: angstrom-feed-configs.bbappend
So with 'opkg update' it is read.
Created an empty 'placeholder' recipe for the package to include.
When I bitbake my image this empty package is included in the rootfs.
Now i only have to 'opkg update/upgrade' to get the actual packages in.
This is by far the easiest solution (I think...)

Thanks again!
Jaap
