ipkg or opkg? #285

Closed OneCDOnly closed 5 years ago

Hello.

Are there any plans to match the installer filename with the internal name?

At the moment, it's a little confusing as to which one is being run:

$ ipkg
opkg must have one sub-command argument
usage: opkg [options...] sub-command [arguments...]
...
glob could be something like 'pkgname*' '*file*' or similar
 e.g. opkg info 'libstd*' or opkg search '*libop*' or opkg remove 'libncur*'

... and

$ ipkg --version
opkg version 0.2.4

Can ipkg can be named as opkg?

Thank you.

Sorry for a massive response delay :smile: After some thought, I've decided to change internal name to ipkg. This way we retain backward compatibility with old Optware, which used classical ipkg, not opkg, and avoid the confusion you mentioned. Also, I'd like to keep it called ipkg to differ from OpenWRT and Entware, which use opkg.
