title: Buildroot package management
body: <p>I'm using buildroot to create a rootfs running on my ARM platform.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to have a package manager on my platform to easily install packages, like apt-get in ubuntu.</p>
  
  <p>I found opkg, who can be simply added to the buildroot build, but I can't find any information about how to find a repository.</p>
  
  <p>Also, reading some stuff on the web about this, I also read that buildroot didn't include a package manager. Isn't opkg a package manager? Or just some kind of frontend to fetch packages?</p>
  
  <p>I don't really understand what a package manager consist of, and I don't find any information about this.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone explain what is really needed to implement that kind of manager, or where to find such informations?</p>
