hi,
i have a question that may have been answered previously, but i couldn't find it searching here.
when i install ffp .5, i notice that many (5+) packages are skipped on install even though the versions are newer than those that come in the stock D-link firmware. is there some way to go back and update those packages that are skipped post install, or set some switch upon ffp install to do this?
again, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.

" The simplest way to stay current is to install all the main packages ( http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/ ). " - from the wiki http://dns323.kood.org/howto:ffp#upgrading_ffp_itself

let me restate my question.
i re-initialized my unit yesterday, new hdd's new fw, and converted to ext3. that coversion means that i reinstalled ffp from scratch, with no history left behind.
when i do that and perform the installation command, it skips packages at that time saying that they are already installed.
fyi, i installed all of the ffp packages per the instructions here: http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/
telnet bob
cd /mnt/HD_a2
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .
cd packages
funpkg -i *.tgz

ok, 1st hurdle cleared i upgraded ffp from 5.1 to 5.3
the next part of the process listed in the link you sent doesn't work:
# funpkg -u package-file.tgz
this is due to the fact that there is no file by that name in the directory:
root@DNS323:/mnt/HD_a2/packages# funpkg -u package-file.tgz
FATAL: package-file.tgz: File not found
now if this means, that you have to go package by package and do each one manually then that is ok.
after reading further down the page, i found this:
# funpkg -u *.tgz
and that is what i was looking for.
THANKS!

Of course, there's no "package-file.tgz". It's a placeholder that you need to replace with real file names. In practice, this look like this:
funpkg -u funpkg-0.5-3.tgz uclibc-0.9.29-7.tgz funpkg -u *.tgz
I.e. upgrade funpkg and uclibc, first, then the rest.

sorry fonz,
i was a little ahead of myself typing vs. reading. i didn't RTFM all the way, and found that a little further down in the how to.
i got it now
