NAME

opkg.conf - opkg configuration file

DESCRIPTION

This file contains default options for opkg. Each line contains a single option which is exactly the same as a normal command line option for opkg except for the leading dashes which are not used here. Comments are allowed by starting a line with a hash sign (" #"). There can be multiple configuration files. Repositories can be placed in separate *.conf files. A repository configuration file needs only a src line. A opkg.conf file is not needed if repositories are not being used to obtain packages and if the packages are expected to install in "/".

USAGE

Outlined is an example of how to set specific options

REPOSITORY CONFIGURATION

The opkg repository configuration consists of three parts. The repository type, the repository name, and the repository location. The repository type is used to indicate what format the repository will take. src will take the form of an uncompress repository list, while src/gz will take the form of a gzip compress repository list. The repository name is a descriptive name used to identify a particular repository. For instance base may refer to a basic repository containing packages used for generic maintanace. A repository named nightly may contain packages from some daily build system. The third part consists of the repository location. This must point to the top directory containing the Packages index file. The repository location may refer to a local directory on the system with the prefix file://, or to a webserver with http://https://, or to an FTP server with ftp://.
