Hi,

I am using opkg-utils-0.3.5 for creating my package.
I have created a *.ipk package which require "docopt>=0.6.2" and "requestes>=2.13.0", however the opkg is not able to resolve the dependencies.

I am using docker container to test my opkg package.

Can someone please guide regarding this?

Thanks,
Prakash

Is that version for that package available at the repos you are using?

Thanks for your reply!

I am working on this project as well. We're both new to publishing OpenWRT (opkg) materials. We haven't been able to find any public repositories that contain docopt nor requests. In order to resolve our dependencies I think we have two options:

• Create our own repository and publish the dependencies there.

• Use the existing OpenWRT public repo and submit our software there.

Can you provide some guidance on what you think might be easier and faster versus what best practices and preferences are in the OpenWRT project?

Thanks!

If the packages are part of OpenWrt but the ones in the OpenWrt public repo are too old a version, look in the LEDE public repos.   User space packages will usually work without an exact version match.  Kernel packages need to match the kernel build exactly.

You would have to build the binaries yourself if you can't find them pre-built anywhere.

There are no packages called docopt / requests in the LEDE repositories either.

Those are Python libraries, so they don't have to be compiled to a CPU or OS.  You can put them in to your package, or instruct the end user to install them to their Python environment with pip before running your application.

Thanks for the reply.
Can anyone of you point me to a tutorial link where I can learn packaging python source code along with dependencies into a ipk/opk file format?

Thanks!
