| 1 | <html><head><title>Welcome to AQPkg</title></head><body> | 1 | <html><head><title>AQPkg</title></head><body> |
| 2 | AQPkg is the default package manager for Opie.<br> | 2 | <p align="center"> |
| 3 | <h3>Basic Instructions:</h3> | 3 | <img src="aqpkg/aqpkg"> |
| 4 | On startup, you will be shown a window. The main part of the window is taken up | 4 | <h1>AQPkg</h1> |
| 5 | by a list box showing packages. The packages shown will depend on the server selected.<br> | 5 | <b>Package management for Opie</b> |
| 6 | The servers list contains network servers containing feeds of packages that can be downloaded | 6 | <p align="left"> |
| 7 | and installed onto your handheld. These are held in the file /etc/ipkg.conf and can be maintained | 7 | <hr> |
| 8 | using AQPkg. In addition to the servers defined in ipkg.conf file, there are two other servers - | 8 | AQPkg is the default package manager for Opie. |
| 9 | local and local IPKGs. These are not network servers but views of your handheld.<br> | 9 | It allows the user to manage multiple package feeds |
| 10 | The local server shows all installed packages, and the local IPKGs server shows all ipks | 10 | and install, remove and update packages.<br> |
| 11 | that are stored on your handheld.<br> | 11 | <ul> |
| 12 | On the local server, you can only remove packages. On the local IPKGs server you can only | 12 | <li><a href="aqpkg/update.html"><img src="aqpkg/update">Update lists</a></li> |
| 13 | install and delete packages - removing installed packages is currently not working. On all other | 13 | <li><a href="aqpkg/upgrade.html"><img src="aqpkg/upgrade">Upgrade packages</a></li> |
| 14 | servers you can install, uninstall, upgrade and download packages.<br> | 14 | <li><a href="aqpkg/remove.html"><img src="aqpkg/remove">Remove local packages</a></li> |
| 15 | To get the latest package list for a server (or refresh the view), select the server you | 15 | <li><a href="aqpkg/download.html"><img src="aqpkg/download">Download packages</a></li> |
| 16 | wish to update and click the Refresh List button.<br> | 16 | <li><a href="aqpkg/apply.html"><img src="aqpkg/apply">Apply changes</a></li> |
| 17 | To download a package from a remote server, select the server (any except local and local IPKGs), | 17 | <li><a href="aqpkg/configuration.html"><img src="SettingsIcon">Configuration</a></li> |
| 18 | then select the package(s) you wish to download (by tapping in the box next to the package | 18 | <li><a href="aqpkg/about.html"><img src="UtilsIcon">About</a></li> |
| 19 | name so that a tick appears in the box) and click the Download button. Enter the path where you | 19 | </ul> |
| 20 | want the package to be downloaded to and click OK to download the package.<br> | 20 | </body></html> |
| 21 | To install, upgrade or remove a package select the packages you wish to install and click the Apply | ||
| 22 | button. You will then be shown a dialog which allows you to select which destination you wish | ||
| 23 | to install the package to, which packages will be installed, removed and upgraded. You can also | ||
| 24 | set various options. (for the moment, see the documentation for IPKG for more details on these | ||
| 25 | options). To start the process, click Start. This will perform the necessary operations and | ||
| 26 | will show you what is happening. Once everything has completed click the Close button.<br> | ||
| 27 | Note: Currently, the operation to perform for a package is automatically decided based on the | ||
| 28 | following rules:<br> | ||
| 29 | If a package isn't installed, then it will be installed.<br> | ||
| 30 | If a package is installed and there isn't a later version available then it will be removed.<br> | ||
| 31 | If a package is installed and a different version is available then it will be upgraded. (Note, | ||
| 32 | I haven't yet found a way to determine if an available package is newer or older than the one | ||
| 33 | currently installed so it is possible that a package may be downgraded).<br> | ||
| 34 | As previously mentioned, a package can be explicitly removed by using the local server.<br><br> | ||
| 35 | A couple of last notes, in the main window, the following may be useful:<br> | ||
| 36 | If a package is installed then it will have (installed) after it.<br> | ||
| 37 | If a different version is available then it will have a * after the package name.<br> | ||
| 38 | You can view details of a package by tapping twice (quickly) on the package name (NOT the | ||
| 39 | box next to the package name). This will show you a brief description of the package, the | ||
| 40 | version installed (if it is installed), and the version available for download/installation | ||
| 41 | (if a different on is available).<br><br><br> | ||
| 42 | Well, hope you enjoy using this program. If you have any ideas/suggestions/ideas for improvements | ||
| 43 | then please let me know at andy.qua@blueyonder.co.uk.<br><br> | ||
| 44 | Thanks for using this. | ||
