Installing IPK packages

Small description

Ipk Setup Download Software

The IPKfeed directory contains precompiled and prepackaged software for the MATRIX VISION mvBlueLYNX. This package system is based loosely on the Debian packages but is simpler and script-based. An identical system is used on the Sharp Zaurus PDA.

To install packages you will need the script called ipkg. This script is included in mvBlueLYNX filesystems from 23.10.2002 or newer. For older firmware a copy is included on the CD.

Type in ipkg without any parameters to see how it works:

Examples of use

SetupTo install a package file called mvstest.ipk:

To install this package from a URL (this URL does not really exist!):

To upgrade this package to a newer version:

To remove this package:

To list installed packages:

etc.

Hint

You could just allow http or ftp access to a complete directory and then any mvBlueLYNX can access it and update their software at will.
Note:
MATRIX VISION is setting up IPKfeeds on its website:
  • BETA:http://beta.matrix-vision.com/mvbl-feed/
  • RELEASE:http://www.matrix-vision.com/mvbl-cd-feed/ Please have a look at http://beta.matrix-vision.com/mvbl-feed/README.txt to find out how to access an IPKfeed directly.

If you want to setup an own IPKfeed please have a look at Setting up an IPK feed.

Some IPK packages cannot be installed on the mvBlueLYNX-M. For details please have a look at the particular IPK package description.

Installing via VMware

With the preconfigured development environment 'mvSDK for intelligent cameras', which is available on DVD, you can use the Virtual Machine (VMware) to install IPK packages. This could be useful, if your development environment has no connection to the internet.

Zillow app for mac. The IPK packages are located here:

The Apache webserver of the Virtual Machine (VMware) makes them available and by using a browser you can navigate through the directories. The only thing you have to know is the IP address of the Virtual Machine (VMware).

The path to the directory can be entered in the ipk.conf of device (/var/www/ppc_603e for mvBlueLYNX IPK packages; /var/www/ppc_6xx for mvBlueLYNX-M7 and mvBlueCOUGAR-P IPK packages). /download-mp3-songs-to-my-phone-for-free.html.

Installing via Server2Go

Ipk Setup Download Pc

If you have neither an internet access nor the VMware locally nor a webserver available, there is still a possibility to install IPK packages. The tool is called Server2Go and can be downloaded here (the Micro-Package is enough for this type of installation and it is a self-extracting EXE file):Ipk

Please follow these steps, to get the webserver running:

  1. Extract the Server2Go tool on an USB stick.
    Afterwards, a htdocs folder is available.
  2. Copy the IPK packages you want to install/upgrade in the htdocs folder.
  3. Now, change the following line of the pms_config.ini which you can find in the Server2Go folder.
    You have to use the IP address of the host PC where you want to start this webserver.
  4. Afterwards, start the webserver by clicking 'Server2Go.exe'.
    A popup window will be appear. Don'tclosethiswindow, otherwise the webserver will be shut down!

Please follow the next steps, to set the mvBlueLYNX and to install the packages:

  1. On the mvBlueLYNX, change the corresponding line in the ipkg.conf:
    Replace the IP address with the address you've entered in pms_config.ini (the IP where the webserver is running).
  2. Afterwards, you can, for example, update the mvBlueLYNX:

Building IPK packages

Step-by-step description

  1. Create the directory structure and files you want to appear on the mvBlueLYNX.
  2. Create a directory named CONTROL at the top-level of this directory structure.
  3. Inside CONTROL create a file named control with lines of the form 'Field: value'. Required fields are Package, Version, Architecture, Source, Maintainer, and Description. Optional fields include Priority, Section, and Depends. The meaning of each of the fields will be given later in this document.
  4. If your package has any configuration files, then create a file CONTROL/conffiles which lists the absolute path of each configuration file, (as it will appear on the installed system), one per line. This will prevent the package management system from automatically overwriting configuration changes when the user upgrades the package.
  5. If needed your package may include some scripts that will be invoked by the package maintenance system. There are four possible times a script will be run: just before your package is installed, just after your package is installed, just before the package is removed, and just after the package is removed. These scripts are named preinst, postinst, prerm, and postrm and should be located in the CONTROL directory. The scripts should return 0 on success, (a non-zero return value from preinst will prevent your package from being installed -- this can be useful in rare situations). The scripts can assume a tty is available so they may prompt the user.
Note:
On the mvBlueLYNX the root file system is usually accessible only in 'read-only' mode i.e. you cannot write to any directories. Exceptions to this include /flash, /var, /tmp and /dev, but changes to /tmp (RAM disk) and /dev will not be permanent i.e. will be lost on the the next startup. Usually you would install user applications to '/flash' but if you need to write to other directories like '/etc' you will need to include the command /usr/sbin/remountrw in the script 'preinst' and also /usr/sbin/remountro in 'postinst'.

/usr/lib is actually a symbolic link to /flash/lib and is therefore always writable. Here is an example of preinst and postinst including the remount command:

The same applies to the other scripts if you need to remove files from the read-only system when removing an installed package.
  1. Now simply run:

    where directory is the directory you have created. The destination_directory is optional and defaults to the current directory. The ipkgbuild script performs several sanity checks on the package directory and should guide you through any problems.

    Here is an example control file which you may use as a template:

    The meaning of the various fields in CONTROL/control is as follows:

    • Package is the name of the package and should match the regular expression [a-z0-9.+-]+ Version should have at least one digit and should match [a-zA-Z0-9.+]*.
    • Priority should be one of: required, standard, important, optional, or extra. Most programs should use optional.
    • Architecture should specify the architecture for which the package is compiled. A valid value for mvBlueLYNX-2xx,-4xx or -6xx is ppc603e.
    • Maintainer should be the name and email address of the person responsible for maintaining the package, (not necessarily the author of the program). The e-mail address is notr checked for validity and may be modified to confuse spammers if you like.
    • Source should be a valid URL pointing to a website containing the source code (if GPL).
    • Depends indicates packages which must also be installed in order for this package to work. The packages should be listed on a single line, separated by commas.
    • Section can be one of the following: admin, base, comm, editors, extras, graphics, libs, misc, net, text, web, x11.
    • Description should be a short, (less than 80 characters) description of the program. It may also include a long description on subsequent lines, (each indented by a single space character). Blank lines in the long description may be indicated by a line consisting of a space character followed by a period, i.e. '.'

Setting up an IPK feed

Introduction

The ipkg script is able to install local packages by supplying a complete filename. Alternatively you may make IPK packages accessible via FTP or HTTP in a so-called IPK Feed. This has the following advantages:
  • Dependencies between packages are honoured. All packages needed are installed automatically.
  • The ipks do not need to be transferred individually to each mvBlueLYNX that needs to be updated.
  • FTP or HTTP servers may be accessible via Internet or Intranet connections.

Setting up an IPK feed is very easy: Just create a new directory on your existing FTP or HTTP server. Place all the required IPK packages in this directory and then generate an index file called Packages by running the script IPKg-make-index. e.g.

Step-by-step description

E.g. to install the 'xyz' and 'qwe' packages in a feed on a Linux/Unix server follow these steps:

This should also work on Windows PCs running Virtual Machine (VMware) or the older Cygwin.

App Catalog Direct IPK Download Format Uncovered for Free Apps
by Jason Robitaille on 3/3/2010 Filed Under: News;Tags: App Catalog, webos quick install, wosqi, ipk, direct download 63 comments


Well now, you don't see this every day. Using a combination of information found within public Palm feed API and a basic URL template, it's become possible to get a direct download URL for freeware App Catalog applications!

The format was uncovered by a few people at roughly the same time, with pman_lt being the first to post it on our forums. Basically, using the application number (found within the screenshot URLs), version number and package ID, you can build a .ipk file URL that will work to download all freeware applications.

What does this really mean? Well, in a nutshell, the sometimes arbitrary region restrictions on freeware App Catalogs apps is removed. While I'm sure some US-specific apps might not function fully, the vast majority seem to. And given previous developer reports of the Palm app submission form not recognizing their choice for full international release, this is bound to make many users and developers happy.

Since the URL format's discover a few days ago, things have progressed quickly. Rod Whitby added it unofficially to their Packages files for their App Catalog feeds. Now, you can go to the Ipkg Viewer in WebOS Quick Install and add the custom feed of http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/palm-catalog/Packages and you'll have unrestricted App Catalog freeware downloads. Update: it will list the apps, but not allow download. WebOS Internals let us know that they're not adding any functionality to Preware to enable this well-known technique until they hear from Palm on the issue - more here.

In addition, the amazing developer Blacklight, from the Nexave forums, has developed a cross-platform desktop application called IPK Fetcher. It lets you view freeware App Catalog apps and gives clickable IPK download links, installable by WebOS Quick Install.

It remains to be seen whether this workaround will stick around - Palm may change their url structure to stop it. To our mind, though, most of the region-restricted freeware shouldn't be. With some apps (like music software that has to be region-restricted), it makes sense. However, for the vast majority of freeware, it's tough to see a good reason for the app to be limited to just the US.

Just keep in mind this direct download URL format is extremely unofficial and may break at anytime.
