Is there a light package manager for embedded systems ?
 
Hello,

I'm working on an embedded linux distro based on the TX25 starterkit from Karo Elektronics.

to update my products I plan to write a kind of package manager which can update the embedded system from an archive file.

Before developing something that may exists, I would like to know if someone know a light package manager that would do so ?

I found lpkg but it needs a repository to work, and my products are not connected to internet, the update will be done through a USB pen drive.

Thanks
Alex

You could use pkgtools from slackware. Nothing fancy, no dependency checking, but three or four bash scripts to do the job.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.
I will use dpkg which is uncluded in busybox. It might be enough to do what I need to do.
