ipkg-build patch

  • I made a patch to the ipkg-build to solve the following 2 issues:
    - The original ipkg-build script requires to place the CONTROL directory inside the package as well as outside on the root. This issue is fixed.
    - The original ipkg-build script includes the CONTROL folder inside the data.tar.gz, and thereby the CONTROL directory will be copied to / (the root) when you install the IPK package. THis issues is fixed


    Attached is the package.

  • I used the same script - as you can see in the source it excludes the control directory when building data.tar.gz if it was found.


    I usually call ipkg-build from inside the working directory but that should not make any difference.

  • :smiling_face: Ok now I think I know what is the difference.


    I executed the ipkg-build on my dreambox. dreambox version of tar seems not to support the --exclude option.


    Probably if you use the original script on a standard Linux machine then it will work.
