Build my own Vix image

[judge]

Built a 6.4 release image for the original VU+ Ultimo today on a laptop in under 4 hours.
Installed image works a lot faster/snappier than the last available VIX release for this box.
Have the feeds built on the laptop in /oe-a-5.3/build-enviroment/builds/openvix/release/vuultimo/tmp/deploy/ipk & want to move them to the Ultimo hdd, no need for a build server as it's a rare box I'd need to update.
Anyone know what's the correct format I should use in the /etc/opkg conf files to point to media/hdd/feeds/ rather than the URLs?

From the man page (there is one in the source).

[FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]       The third part consists of the repository location.  This must point to [/COLOR]
       the top directory containing the [COLOR=#000000][B]Packages[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] index file.   The  repository [/COLOR]
       location  may  refer to a local directory on the system with the prefix 
       [COLOR=#000000][B]file://[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000], or to a webserver with [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][B]http://https://[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000], or to  an  FTP  server [/COLOR]
       with [COLOR=#000000][B]ftp://[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000].

And you could set this URL in site.conf so it is already correct on the box and you don't need to edit anything.

Couldn't get file:// to work.

Away for the next week but will try that when I get back.
Any idea what the format should be to use /HDD/feeds on the box the image is installed on?

What did you actually put into which file?
The code looks as though it should work. If the URL starts with "file:" it skips the first 5 characters and copies the file (or symlinks it, if you have that option set).

Tested sf4008 and plugins work for me. Renamed "ipk" folder to "feeds" and transferred folder to /media/hdd/

Then modified opkg config paths. For example "all-feed.conf" to file:///media/hdd/feeds/all

So you're still around then.

My mistake, using file:///hdd/feeds/ does work. Had copied the modified files to the wrong place so was still using the originals.

The svn.streamboard.tv site has been offline for a few days causing builds to fail at the initial stage. Is there an easy way to disable the streamboard/oscam check temporally until the site is back online, maybe with a recipes-local file?

You can try and use same repo that PLi uses

https://github.com/OpenPLi/openpli-oe-core/blob/develop/meta-openpli/recipes-openpli/enigma2-softcams/enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam.bb

I have tried adding a bbapend file with the URL from PLi which still gives errors and also tried copying the full PLi bb file to the bbapend but it complains that it contains an operation using the old override syntax. Please convert this layer/metadata before attempting to use with a newer bitbake

TBH, I'm well out of my depth. Is there a simple way to just get the build to skip everything related to oscam?

This is from @Eddi ……..haven,t tried it, but from Eddi, I am sure it will work

Thanks, I'll have a look at that later or probably tomorrow.

Where does the 1st bit go?

ls -1 oscam | while read a; do echo $a; cat $a; echo "##############"; done

There are 6 oscam .bb so I assume that I can use the text from one of the 5 listed in the 6th

That's just the line of shell script that twol used to print the contents of those 5 files with the file name in before and some ###s after each one.

 

[lincsat]

Well I created the 6 bbappend files and it appears to be building OK. The 6th file is called - enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam-emu.bbappend

The original text does have a missing space between branch=trunk and the \ in the 2nd one on the list

The svn.streamboard.tv site has been offline for a few days causing builds to fail at the initial stage. ...

I picked things up from there in the early hours of Jan 27.

Interestingly(?) all of the Mirrors failed - so it fell back to upstream.

The mirror links which failed were:

• http://openvix.co.uk/feeds_extras/sources-mirror/trunk_svn.streamboard.tv_.oscam_11731_1.tar.gz
• https://source.mynonpublic.com/trunk_svn.streamboard.tv_.oscam_11731_1.tar.gz
• http://code.vuplus.com/download/mirror/trunk_svn.streamboard.tv_.oscam_11731_1.tar.gz
• http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/trunk_svn.streamboard.tv_.oscam_11731_1.tar.gz

As always. I spend hours trying to work out something and then as soon as I ask I somehow manage to stumble on to the solution.


The five .bbappend files already mentioned are all that's needed, once the missing space is fixed you can build an image.

 

[lincsat]

After all this, I see streamboard is back online today

 

[Huevos]

Yes. What a waste of time.
