Hi master G
Thanks for your feedback and guidance
how to convert deb file to ipk?
how to convert deb file to ipk?
There is no simple way or tool to do it. Its all done via terminal/putty/telnet with commands.
Unpack the deb file, then build the contents into an ipk.
Its all in the links above.
Instead of converting, extract the deb/ipk with 7-Zip then FTP the contents to the receiver.
thanks very match Master G!

How to convert .ipk file to .deb on my Dream One
from Telnet
apt-get update
apt-get install tar binutils
mkdir /tmp/convert-ipk
cd /tmp/convert-ipk
mkdir DEBIAN
upload the .ipk file via FTP to your dreambox on /tmp/convert-ipk,
then go to /tmp/convert-ipk from telnet and type
ar -x *.ipk
[ -e debian-binary ] && rm debian-binary
rm *.ipk
tar vxzf control.tar.gz -C ./
tar vxzf data.tar.gz -C ./
rm *.tar.gz
mv ./control ./DEBIAN
mv ./pre* ./*post* ./DEBIAN
cd /tmp
check and customize the control file (dependencies, architecture, etc.)
Check or set file permissions in the DEBIAN folder
then go back to the /tmp folder and create the .deb file,
the name must be indicated on the command line.
It will not be automatically generated from the control file!
This is just one of the ways to convert .ipk to .deb to install on OE2.5.
But there is no certainty that the plugin will work ...
If there are mipsel executables in .ipk, it won't work on cvs!
Maybe there are some changes in the Python source that are required to work in OE2.5 ...
