ipk packages are the intallation packages used by opkg.

I'm trying to extract the contents of one of them and also create my own ipk.

I've read that I should be able to untar them but that is not true.

I've tried:

and I get:

zip: stdin: not in gzip format

I've also tried:

and I get:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

I've found that most of the information on the internet regarding ipk's are inaccurate.

My ipk was generated by bitbake. I'm having a hard time with bitbake and want to avoid using it.

Any ideas on how to extract and how to create ipk files? A simple template with a single package would be useful to have.

I figured it out.

You can extract the main package with the ar x command, then extract the control.tar.gz with the tar -zxf command.

You need to create a control file, and then do some archiving using tar and ar. In my case, I was distributing just python scripts, so there was no architecture dependency. You should check the control and Makefile into version control, and delete all the other intermediate files.

Here are the contents of control

Here is my Makefile which sits in the same directory as all my python scripts.

I have tested 'ar x package-name.ipk' command but it didn't help

I found bellow command which worked perfectly

tar zxpvf package-name.ipk

This extracts three files:

debian-binary

data.tar.gz

control.tar.gz

use the same command to open data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz files

for more information refer to https://cognito.me.uk/computers/manual-extractioninstallation-of-ipk-packages-on-gargoyleopenwrt/

Extracting with these commands:

1. Extract the file by running the command:

2. Extract the control.tar.gz file by running the command:

3. data.tar.gz : untar by running the command:

How to open IPK files

If you cannot open the IPK file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports IPK among those that are installed on your device.

A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the IPK file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.

Possible problems with the IPK format files

The inability to open and operate the IPK file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Shana Informed Filler Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.

• Corruption of a IPK file which is being opened
• Incorrect links to the IPK file in registry entries.
• Accidental deletion of the description of the IPK from the Windows registry
• Incomplete installation of an application that supports the IPK format
• The IPK file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
• The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the IPK file.
• Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a IPK file are out of date.

If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the IPK file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the IPK file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the IPK file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?

If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.IPK) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected IPK file. From the drop-down menu select 'Choose default program', then click 'Browse' and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the IPK file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.

Is there one way to open unknown files?

Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. IPK) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
