I'm also sat on tested patches, I was planning to send them tomorrow. I've held the patches back as the deadline for such changes for OE 1.7 had passed. > I would also at this time like to propose changing the default list > directory from /var/lib to something else (/usr/lib ?).

You'll be able to set cache_dir, lists_dir, info_dir, lock_file and status_file in opkg.conf. I'd rather we left the defaults as-is and use those settings once v0.3.0 is released. v0.3.0 will also create any directories needed if they don't exist. So it may make sense to set cache_dir to something under /tmp, lock_file to something under /var or /run and everything else under /usr if that's what's desired. > I've tested changing the lists_dir and everything is working as expected. > > Michael Gloff > Thanks, -- Paul Barker Email: p...@paulbarker.me.uk http://www.paulbarker.me.uk -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
