@Adrian-Aguirre @oliolioli For example on FW v0.3.2 b218 edit the '/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf' file and enable / uncomment the fifth (5th) line:

nano - 3.2-1 - Nano (Nano's ANOther editor, or Not ANOther editor) is an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor.

root@Omega-99A5:/# opkg list | grep -i php7
 ...

BTW There isn't / I can not find 'php7-mod-mcrypt'.

You could edit '/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf' - for example - whith vi.

If you are not familiar with vi than you could run these commands - for example -

to enable / uncomment the fifth (5th) line:
sed -i '5s/^#//' /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
opkg update
or to disable / comment out the fifth (5th) line:
sed -i '5s/^/#/' /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
opkg update
You could "restore" the original file with:
cp /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf.new /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
opkg update

Good luck.

Hi @György-Farkas

I add the next line

add your custom package feeds here

@Adrian-Aguirre Did you read my post? I wrote (if you want to install nano):

enable / uncomment the appropriate line of the '/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf' file
for example on FW v0.3.2 b218 this is the fifth (5th) line
run opkg update
I'm sorry, I forgot to write (because I thought it's obvious)
run opkg install nano

And I really did not find the OpenWrt 18.06 'php7-mod-mcrypt' package (2019-03-11).

I was interested in uncovering where it went and found this in the OpenWrt 18.06 php7 package changelogs for the php7.2.0 commit:

Also drop mcrypt module as it's deprecated.

php7: update to 7.2.0

So @Adrian-Aguirre I suppose you will have to review why it was deprecated and what the current best practises are around using the mcrypt functionality.

@Adrian-Aguirre You may modify also the '/etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf' file and can use also OpenWrt 'snapshots' of course.

Installing OpenWrt development snapshots
In a nutshell:
Q: I am a standard consumer, do I want a development snapshot firmware?
A: No!

In detail: Development builds / snapshots

nano Version: 3.2-1
Dependencies: libc, libssp, libncurses

So - I think - it's much more simple to use the usual method.

Good luck.
