[How to] Pass from "normal" to Toltec installation

[Pemo11235]

Hi, I wondering how to pass from "normal" installation (automagic) to Toltec pack installation. I need to uninstall and then reinstall by the opkg. It is right? Will I lose bookmarks? Do I need futher actions to apply? Do you suggest this ?

I'm sorry for so many dummy questions and thanks for you great great work :)

best to uninstall with the automagic script first, then install the toltec package.

you won't lose the bookmarks, unless you do a factory reset which is not recommended

if you use toltec for other things, probably easier to maintain

I've hard time finding the Toltec package (it's not here https://toltec-dev.org/stable/) and I can't find info in this repo, am I missing something ?

[EDIT] : My bad it's in the testing branch (https://toltec-dev.org/testing/)

Thank you

I believe latest patch was not added yet ? I'm on RM2 2.5.1.45

Or should I add some arg with "patch_25145_rm2" like suggested for the Automagic install ?

opkg install ddvk-hacks

So, it seems like "25145" patch is version "patch_18.2.01" and toltec package is "17.04-1", will have to wait for the update I guess.

I just learned about Toltec and love the idea. I wouldn't mind to wait longer for new patches, but how am I suppose to update my rm2 to the correct version? By the time a patch is released on Toltec a newer xochitl version has been released already and an update would force me to skip the version I need. I'd end up without the hack and I'd need to wait.

Am I missing something here?

It just means that updates to the toltec package needs to happen more often, and merges to stable need to keep happening on schedule. We've been a little bad at that.
