[ptxdist] ipkg-push failure for several packages

["Benoît BURNICHON" <Benoit.BURNICHON@airtag.com>]

Hi all,

There are undocumented restrictions on the package names and version needed in order to have ipkg-push working.

These are:
Packages names should not contains any '_'.
Packages versions should not contain any '-' or '_'.

This is because the ipkg-push process need to add an ipkg version number. It does this by assuming the ipk package name is as follows:

${PackageName}_${PackageVersion}-${PackageIpkVersion}_${arch}.ipk

A simple sed is performed on this format and including a '-' in the package version leads to incorrect parsing of package name.

There are currently several packages having this issue:

$ (cd ~/Pengutronix/ptxdist && grep -ne 'VERSION.*:=[ \t]*.*-.*' rules/*)

To avoid conflicts, packages names and versions should follow the debian conventions 
Name: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Source
Versions: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html#namever

Actually, there already is a solution for these issues. I have made the needed changes for the above packages in several patches.
I do not want to send them all  to the mailing list.

Regards,

Ben
