This is an improved and simple version that keeps 1  package-index recipe and updates the 3 kinds of packages at the same time:
http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=dcui/package-index&id=fb26e81dcb6e27e2908294e406a3011baed0120d
This avoids forcing the user to remember which package type they enabled when running "bitbake package-index".
(I also past the new version at the end of this mail for easy reviewing)

Thanks!

    package-index.bb: also add the support for rpm/deb

    [YOCTO #1024]

    -------------------------------
    (I'll make a new patch to add the below description to the manual).

    How to generate and use repos:

    1) run "bitbake package-index" after building some target;
    2) export ${DEPLOY_DIR_RPM} and ${DEPLOY_DIR_IPK} by a webserver on the host
    (let's assume the host IP is 192.168.7.1) at
    http://192.168.7.1/rpm
    http://192.168.7.1/ipk
    3) inside the target, according to the packaging system (ipk, rpm, deb) used
    when we generate the target image, we can use different ways to manage
    packages:
        3.1) RPM:  "zypper addrepo http://192.168.7.1/rpm main; zypper refresh"
    to retrieve info about the repo; next, we can use zypper install/remove to
    manage packages.
        3.2) IPK:  add the repo info into opkg config file, i.e., in
    /etc/opkg/arch.conf, we can add something like
    src i586 http://192.168.7.1/ipk/i586, and next we run "opkg update" to make
    opkg update the list of available packages, and next we can use
    opkg install/remove to manage packages.
        3.3) DEB:(To be added)

Dexuan,

I am not sure that this is the correct approach.  I think that you 
should look at how the packages get generated based on which package 
classes are included via PACKAGE_CLASSES, then in each of those classes 
set it up so that when the package-index task is called you know which 
indexer to run. This would be moving what you have in the 
package-index-<packager>.bb files to their respective 
package_<packager>.bbclass files and use

do_package_index[recrdeptask] += package_index_<packager>

in the case of ipk it would be in package_ipk.bbclass

do_package_index[recrdeptask] += "package_update_index_ipk"

You will also need to move the do_package_index[depends]

Another thing to verify is the current package_update_index_* correct 
for the different package types? Looking at package_update_index_rpm, I 
am not sure since it does not call createrepo, there might be a reason 
for this that Mark H or Qing can comment on.

Hope that made sense, I am sure Richard will correct me if I got 
something wrong!

Sau!

OK, thanks very much for the detailed suggestion! I'll change to this better method.

My understanding about package_update_index_rpm vs. createrepo is:
both can be used to generate rpm repo;
package_update_index_rpm generates the metadata about the packages in solvedb to have rpm install the packages into target rootfs. This is the current method used in do_rootfs for rpm. This is complex and the generated repo is not suitable to be exported (e.g., via http) for general use;
createrepo generated the metadata in .xml files and the generated repo can be easily exported via http and can be used easily by standard zypper (and yum) tools.
So in package-index.bb, I adopt createrepo for rpm.

Let me Cc Qing and Mark for comments about this.

Thanks!
