Downgrade to Prefer #111

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
OPKG Version used is 0.2:

Several Packets were installed locally, it was observed that at every Package 
installation, the previous version is flagged as PREFER.

It is also noticed that using the following command:

opkg install PackageName* -forcedowngrade

The OLDEST version in cache is installed.

The Objective is to install the PREFER Version (previous) not specifying in the 
command the Version Number (i.e. Using PackageName*)

Thank you very much.

How about adding a '--previous' flag to request the installation of the 
previous version?

Dear paul,

adding '--previous' flag to request the installation of the previous version 
would be great, we really need such a feature for the firmware 'upgrade on air' 
in our project .
Do you think such a feature might be available soon?

Cheers

I'm very busy at the moment and only maintaining opkg part-time. This feature 
isn't really a priority to me so you'd need to add it yourself if you need it 
to be available soon. I can provide help and advice via the mailing list if you 
do wish to add this yourself.

Sorry I can't do much better than that at the minute :(
