upkg-buildd > no documentation for this command yet
upkg-install > installs a packet (if it is a binary) > upkg-install dvd2hdd

Note: upkg-add and upkg-install don't build from source by default but adding --enable-source or using upkg-build changes that.

Note: you can use the "--force"-flag for upkg-install and upkg-build so you can disregard dependencies.
