From c0045eaf96fc06316bfab1ac2f5c4fade050c088 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: drw Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2003 01:10:39 +0000 Subject: Basic help file for AQPkg --- (limited to 'help') diff --git a/help/en/html/aqpkg.html b/help/en/html/aqpkg.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ba6baf1 --- a/dev/null +++ b/help/en/html/aqpkg.html @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +Welcome to AQPkg +AQPkg is the default package manager for Opie.
+

Basic Instructions:

+On startup, you will be shown a window. The main part of the window is taken up +by a list box showing packages. The packages shown will depend on the server selected.
+The servers list contains network servers containing feeds of packages that can be downloaded +and installed onto your handheld. These are held in the file /etc/ipkg.conf and can be maintained +using AQPkg. In addition to the servers defined in ipkg.conf file, there are two other servers - +local and local IPKGs. These are not network servers but views of your handheld.
+The local server shows all installed packages, and the local IPKGs server shows all ipks +that are stored on your handheld.
+On the local server, you can only remove packages. On the local IPKGs server you can only +install and delete packages - removing installed packages is currently not working. On all other +servers you can install, uninstall, upgrade and download packages.
+To get the latest package list for a server (or refresh the view), select the server you +wish to update and click the Refresh List button.
+To download a package from a remote server, select the server (any except local and local IPKGs), +then select the package(s) you wish to download (by tapping in the box next to the package +name so that a tick appears in the box) and click the Download button. Enter the path where you +want the package to be downloaded to and click OK to download the package.
+To install, upgrade or remove a package select the packages you wish to install and click the Apply +button. You will then be shown a dialog which allows you to select which destination you wish +to install the package to, which packages will be installed, removed and upgraded. You can also +set various options. (for the moment, see the documentation for IPKG for more details on these +options). To start the process, click Start. This will perform the necessary operations and +will show you what is happening. Once everything has completed click the Close button.
+Note: Currently, the operation to perform for a package is automatically decided based on the +following rules:
+If a package isn't installed, then it will be installed.
+If a package is installed and there isn't a later version available then it will be removed.
+If a package is installed and a different version is available then it will be upgraded. (Note, +I haven't yet found a way to determine if an available package is newer or older than the one +currently installed so it is possible that a package may be downgraded).
+As previously mentioned, a package can be explicitly removed by using the local server.

+A couple of last notes, in the main window, the following may be useful:
+If a package is installed then it will have (installed) after it.
+If a different version is available then it will have a * after the package name.
+You can view details of a package by tapping twice (quickly) on the package name (NOT the +box next to the package name). This will show you a brief description of the package, the +version installed (if it is installed), and the version available for download/installation +(if a different on is available).


+Well, hope you enjoy using this program. If you have any ideas/suggestions/ideas for improvements +then please let me know at andy.qua@blueyonder.co.uk.
