Topic: Custom package not updated in image

Hi,

I am trying to build an image  (BB RC3) containing a custom package for installation on a TPLINK WR1043ND via the
native firmware upgrade route

The problem is that when I modify the custom package, rebuild the image and install it an old
version of the custom package is installed - not the current version.

The custom package appears to be being built correctly and the version created in the packages/bin directory *is* the
new one (I can verify this by installing it as a stand alone package) however when I reflash the image
I get an old version (I think this must be the version created when I first built BB RC3)

I have tried deleting the .ipk file for the custom package in the packages/bin directory and then rebuilding the image.
This has no effect

My .config file bears a recent time stamp.

Any suggestions what to try next?

Just tried rebuilding the image using

make clean
make V=99

and I again observe the same behaviour.

Rebuilding using

make dirclean
make V=99

also doesn't seem to work.

Managed to sort it out at last!

Nothing to do with the build system.

The discussion might have continued from here.
