+\subsection{Creating binary packages}
|
|

|
|
|
+You might want to create binary packages and include them in the resulting images as packages.
|
|
|
+To do so, you can use the following template, which basically sets to nothing the Configure and
|
|
|
+Compile templates.

+Provided that the tarball which contains the binaries reflects the final
|
|
|
+directory layout (/usr, /lib ...), it becomes very easy to get your package
|
|
|
+look like one build from sources.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Note that using the same technique, you can easily create binary pcakages
|
|
|
+for your proprietary kernel modules as well.

\subsection{Creating kernel modules packages}
|
|
|
|
|
|
The OpenWrt distribution makes the distinction between two kind of kernel modules, those coming along with the mainline kernel, and the others available as a separate project. We will see later that a common template is used for both of them.
