MORIN Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2015 18:58:01 +0000 (+0200) Subject: package: add comment about ipkg/opkg/rpm X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8c1bff77f47f3d031b8f9471fdf4fa8c2da4a8c7;p=buildroot.git package: add comment about ipkg/opkg/rpm Too often the question is raised, that ipkg, opkg and rpm do not work, and users complain they can not install packages. Even though we do have a clear and clearly explained section in our manual, people do not read it (when will users read manuals? sigh...). So, add a big fat comment about ipkg/opkg/rpm, that Buildroot does not generate binary packages and does not provide any package database for any of those package manager. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
