[Angstrom-devel] [RFC] Packaged-staging feed project

Hi,

Now that packaged-staging seems to be working again, I think it's time
we come up with some infrastructure to leverage it properly for angstrom.

I was thinking about a workflow like this:

Autobuilders:
 * build console-image for your favourite machines
 * use modified upload-packages.sh to upload packaged-staging packages

Feed server:
 * use modified sort.sh to sort the packages by arch and remove old ones
 * generate filelist

Users:
 * helperscript gets filelist and does 'for i in $(cat filelist) ; do
wget -c $i ; done'
 * build will pick up staging packages automatically

There are a few problems to be solved with that scenario, namely a way
to get the matching target .ipks as well[1].

Comments/suggestions/offers for help?

regards,

Koen

[1] I might be wrong on that, need to study packaged-staging a bit more
