    I had never heard of opkg. I looked it up:

    opkg: Fork of ipkg lightweight package management intended for use on embedded Linux devices;

    ipkg: A dpkg-inspired, very lightweight system targeted at storage-constrained Linux systems such as embedded devices and handheld computers. Used on HP’s webOS;

    Wikipedia has no dedicated pages for either of them. I guess they’re quite niche.

      I’ve never seen it used outside of OpwnWRT. I assumed they made it specifically for it.
