ipkg Feed for La Fonera

to Japanese page

Install packages via Network into La Fonera

ipkg Feed for La Fonera (FON social router) is available. Add this URL into /etc/ipkg.conf as follows, and you can install packages via network into your La Fonera.

root@OpenWrt:/# echo "src gcd http://www.gcd.org/fonera" >> /etc/ipkg.conf
root@OpenWrt:/# ipkg update
Downloading http://www.gcd.org/fonera/Packages
Updated list of available packages in /usr/lib/ipkg/lists/gcd
Done.

After modification of /etc/ipkg.conf, run ``ipkg update'', and the list of feed will be saved in /usr/lib/ipkg/lists/gcd

Then, run ``ipkg install <package>'' to install the package. Refer the help message shown by ``ipkg -h''.

NOTICE: ipkg 0.99.162 installed in the current La Fonera (archived in /bin/busybox) has a problem: you may remove a non-empty directory while running ``ipkg remove <package>'' (exactly saying, it's a bug of the rmdir implementation of mini_fo). BE CAREFUL! Removing important directories such as /lib causes serious problem. Use alternative ipkg (ex. bugfixed ipkg 0.9 sh script), or do not use ``ipkg remove <package>''.
