Official OpenWRT Package Repos are no longer valid

  • A

    Hello everyone,
    As per the documentation, https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/using-opkg.html#using-opkg-switch-to-lede-repos

    Uncommenting official openwrt 18.06 packages repos doesn't seem to work anymore , if anyone can check whether same thing is happening with their Omega too.

    When i look for valid packages in browser for http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06-SNAPSHOT/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages/Packages.g , following response is observed

    404 Not Found
nginx/1.14.2

    On running opkg update i get following output.

     opkg update

    Here's a workaround solution that worked for me, I changed the url from

     http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06-SNAPSHOT/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages/Packages.gz

    to

    http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages/Packages.gz

    and got following output on running opkg update, not sure whether to stick on this version or another. @Lazar-Demin do suggest a suitable version.

    @akhileshthorat Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
    Not sure why OpenWRT would remove the 18.06-snapshot release from the downloads repo. Will look into this and post an update here.

    @Lazar-Demin

    In continuation to above , I have observed one more change.

    As per the documentation https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/node-red-article.html#installing-node-packages-that-require-compilation

    Since the installation of additional packages requires un-commenting official openwrt repos/url. In our case the official repo url are no longer available

    the use of following command is gives unsupported npm url error

    root@Omega-99A0:~# node --max_old_space_size=512 $(which npm) install -g node-gy
p
npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL

    Not able to install node-gyp.

    I guess we will have to revisit all the documentation and check what processes are affected due to change of openwrt.

    Hello @Lazar-Demin, is 18.06.01 suitable?

    @deicke Yes, 18.06.01 is the best one to use.
    The 18.06.01 release was made by OpenWRT on Aug 16, 2018. Onion forked the openwrt source in Nov 2018.

    We'll update the stable firmware this week to resolve this issue.

    EDIT June 28, 2023: We've pushed a fix for this, will post an update when the firmware has been built and deployed

    Firmware v0.3.4 b257 has a fix for the OpenWRT package repo URL and is now available!
    The opkg feeds now point to the OpenWRT 18.06.1 package repos. Keep in mind that you'll still need to follow the procedure from our documentation to enable the OpenWRT feeds

    @akhileshthorat please try it out and let me know how it goes. I believe it will fix both of the issues you identified.

    After uncommenting the OpenWRT package repos in /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf, opkg update works as expected

    And installing packages from the OpenWRT repos works as well (the adblock package is not the the Onion package repo)
