ipkg on Synology NAS.

Just to keep the note for myself:

1. Read WIKI. For DS213+ (e500, e500v2)

wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-e500/cross/unstable/syno-e500-bootstrap_1.2-7_powerpc.xsh
sh syno-e500-bootstrap_1.2-7_powerpc.xsh

2. add /opt to path

vi .profile
PATH=..:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin

3. Logout and Login again to apply PATHs.
4. update ipkg and install some tools

ipkg-opt update
ipkg-opt install mc
ipkg install mlocate
updatedb

mc_on_DS213p_619px

As usual ipkg (and software like Midnight Commander) will stop work after firmware update. Solution as usual:

vi /root/.profile
ln -s /volume1/@optware /opt
. /root/.profile
mc

.profile

# add /opt/bin and /opt/sbin to PATH
PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/syno/sbin:/usr/syno/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
# comment out old TERM
#TERM=${TERM:-cons25}
#export TERM
# add new for Midnight Commander
export TERMINFO=/opt/share/terminfo
export TERM=xterm
alias mc="mc -c"
