Adding other repos for missing packages
-
I see that you have moved away from using openwrt and are using your own repos now however that causes a bit of an issue when a package I need, say tinc, is not in those repos.
Is there a way to add additional repos without breaking things?
Thanks.

Just add a line to the following file
/etc/opkg/distfeeds.confI would make a copy of the file first. And then comment out all the other lines.
Then, just run the normal
opkg updateand then
opkg install <package name>

It is still openWRT, just based on the lede project. The onion own repos are just stuff for the omega2 & 2+.
however that causes a bit of an issue when a package I need, say tinc, is not in those repos.
In the config file where @Brad-Buskey mentioned are the lede repos commented out. You just have to uncomment them to get the whole punch of progs back.

With them from the config file i guess you will be on the secure side. I hope the onioneers learned from the past and will not compile with different (as the base) kernel versions anymore ...
Assumption:
I do believe they are commented out that when you doopkg updatenot will fill up your memory so fast and got more space for your own aplications.

Ahh yes.. I kinda know that I was wondering what URL I need to add? Though I fear it will not help in any case as according to this link tinc isn't there.
I am not adverse to cross compiling myself but tinc relies on the tun.ko which of course it compiled against the current kernel. tun does not seem to be a built module for the default kernel on o2+ It means building a custom kernel and that gives another overhead I have to deal with.
I pressed for using your own repos on the first onion because of mismatched kernels and and modules. But that was with with OpenWRT.
Any recommendations how I should go about getting packages submitted to the onion repo?
Edit: Seems the tun modules from LEDE is compatible so that is a plus. Now I just need to compile tine for LEDE as well.
Thanks.
