I'm laying out an embedded Linux system, and plan on using ipkg for package management. One thing I can't figure out is how to update a packate. Let's say I have package foobar-0.1 installed. Now I have foobar-0.2_arm.ipk in hand and want to upgrade to that.
Do you just "remove" the old package and "install" the new one?
Won't that end up remove modified config files?
I've seen the ipkg "update" command, but it doesn't seem applicable. First, it will try to update all packages, and I just want to do one. It doesn't appear to accept the path of the new .ipk file.
