# Personal Package Archive for Openvario
A layer for OpenVario firmware build system that builds a personal package
archive (a.k.a. PPA), containing a set of extra applications, not shipped with
the official image. The layer is responsible for building `.ipk` packages and
`opkg` repository that can be uploaded to a public server.
## Packages included
* `openvario-shell` - [Alternative Openvario Menu](https://github.com/kedder/openvario-shell)
* `openvario-compman` - [Openvario Competition Manager](https://github.com/kedder/openvario-compman)
* `ovmenu-compman` - menu entry Competition Manager for Openvario menu system
* `syncthing` - [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/), continuous file synchronization program
## Using the PPA
In order to use the PPA, you need to reference it in `opkg` configuration:
```
$ echo src kedder-ppa http://openvario.lebedev.lt/opkg/armv7vet2hf-neon >> /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf
$ opkg update
```
Then packages can be installed using regular `opkg` commands, for example:
```
$ opkg install openvario-compman
```
## Building the PPA
In order to build the packages, this layer needs to be added to the working
openvario build. Check out [OpenVario build
instructions](https://github.com/Openvario/meta-openvario) for details on
setting up the build environment.
Edit the `.env` environment file and specify the path to the working dir of
Openvario working directory, e.g.:
```
OPENVARIO_IMAGE_DIR=../meta-openvario
```
Start the build container:
```sh
docker compose run --rm dev
```
Build can be configured using these variables in your `local.conf`:
* `PPA_UPLOAD_DEST` - destination for uploading the PPA repository. In
`host:path` format
Building the ppa is done using this command:
```
$ bitbake ppa-repo -c build_ppa
```
The package archive will end up in `tmp/deploy/ppa` directory of the build
workspace directory. Build system also creates a shell script to upload
packages to the public server using rsync, which can be run from the shell:
```
$ tmp/deploy/ppa-upload.sh
```
## Building the complete image
It is possible to build the complete image with all software included in this PPA. Use this command:
```sh
bitbake openvario-image-ovshell
```
## Adding new software to PPA
The list of packages included in the PPA is provided in `DEPENDS` variable of
`recipes-ppa/repo/ppa-repo.bb` recipe. New packages are added by creating build
recipes and referencing them in this variable.
