From 8c1bff77f47f3d031b8f9471fdf4fa8c2da4a8c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2015 20:58:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
