Hi,
Due to problems with PPPD (or something) I can’t connect to my ISP from QNX. I want to download the x86 development packages using windows, then install them from QNX. How can I get them?
I’ve tried http://packages.qnx.com/repository/ but all i see is:
Welcome to Packages2.qnx.com.

Download QNX 6
Surely I can achieve this…

Download QNX 6
You can go to:
http://packages.qnx.com/repository/index
to see a list of the QPM and QPK files in that directory.
Then download the package you want:
http://packages.qnx.com/repository/automake-core-1.4.qpm
Put the packages you download to a local directory,
then add that directory to pkg-installer as a new repository.
Open the repository to see the packages.

That will fail on any package that has an associated license, as the
license is not in either the QPK or the QPM files. Package installer
will (correctly) not install these partially complete packages. The
only license-compliant way to install packages downloaded from
Windows is to get the QPR files, and install them using
pkg-installer -u package.qpr
If the package is unlicensed, then Jerry’s method will work.

seen other yet). So, license is missing in QPR too 
. I’m not sure, but maybe it makes a trick -
download and put into local repository
http://packages.qnx.com/repository/lic/license.txt
(creat the /lic directory and put file into it)
Or I don’t know a way 
. I’m sure this situation must be fixed as soon as possible.

Sorry, in QNX RTP 6.1 release the license information is usual placed in next directory:
rep://<package_name>.repdata/LicenseUrl/
So, for example, if you download
http://packages.qnx.com/repository/binu-dev_x86-2.10.1-qnx.qpm
http://packages.qnx.com/repository/binu-dev_x86-2.10.1-qnx.qpk
Then .qpm manifest references to
http://packages.qnx.com/repository/binu-2.10.1-qnx.repdata/LicenseUrl/license.txt
And you need download and to place the license file into your local repository.

Eduard.
