I agree. What I meant when I said that "opkg status" output is pretty rough is that it is making blanket assumptions, and dumping unprocessed metadata. Dpkg -V analyses the md5sum of each file to determine if it changed, and reports changed files. While opkg currently only stores the md5sum of conffiles, I think opkg status should behave similarly to dpkg -V (for conffiles, at least). Do you mind filing a bug ticket on bugzilla for opkg? -- Cheers, Alejandro -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
