Entware-ng for arm, mipsel ....

[zyxmon]

There is a major change in Entware-ng
1. glibc is upgraded from 2.22 to 2.23 (arm), uclibc is upgraded from 1.0.12 to 1.0.13 (mipsel)
2. gcc is upgraded from 4.8.5 to 5.3.0
3. go packages are added to buildroot toolchain (gccgo allows to build go binaries even for unsupported mipsel 32bits)

arm installation scripts are upgraded to reflect these changes.

when

opkg update
opkg upgrade

is run, locales-archive (entware) will be upgraded to reflect glibc upgrade (arm).
If you have built your own locales you must rebuild them once more.

Just a quick Q of concern

Why are entware (opkg) upgrades available through http rather then https ?

Upon building the Entware-ng toolchain, on the final step of compiling gcc I get this error. However, I put a "-lm" at the end of the line, and that fixed the problem. My dev box is a VM running Linux Mint 13.

I updated my libgpg-error package to version 1.21 with the following patch.

@zyxmon

Thanks for the update.
So it's a known issue without any fix available in foreseeable future.

 

[zyxmon]

However, I put a "-lm" at the end of the line...

Modified the patch to put -lm at the end. So it will work on more host systems

Entware-ng is synchronized with Openwrt. Changelog - https://github.com/Entware-ng/Entware-ng/wiki/Changelog#march-2016
Please note that packages list is different for different architectures.

[zyxmon]

Entware-ng was synchronized with Openwrt. No changelog this month was prepared.
If your mc starts very slow after upgrade (arm routers), edit /opt/etc/profile file and modify the alias for mc

alias mc="mc -c --nosubshell"

 

[sfx2000]

I see entware-ng has synced with OpenWRT - pardon me for asking a dumb question - which openwrt release?

Barrier Breaker, Chaos Calmer, and/or Trunk?

 

[zyxmon]

We always sync with trunk. You can get the exact commits for sync here - https://github.com/Entware-ng (LastSync.txt files).

Today I installed Entware on the AC68U of a family member. I also installed two packages, privoxy and dnscrypt-proxy, but while I see that they are running using the "ps" command, they are both not listed when I run "opkg list-installed". They are also not present in the status file in the lib/opkg folder.

I have the same packages installed on my own AC66U, but was not expecting any differences (even though the architecture is different; MIPS vs armv7).

What might I have done wrong?

(On both systems I copied the content of the USB drive to /jffs/entware in which I linked tmp to /tmp and var to /tmp/var)

 

[XIII]

Packages are listed as installed when I keep Entware on a USB stick. They also are listed as installed if I install Entware on /jffs and keep the tmp and var folders in the Entware folder.

As soon as I replace them by links to /tmp and /tmp/var things break, while this works fine on my AC66U.

Why is the behavior different? How can I fix this?

Hi @ryzhov_al @zyxmon,

Have you considered adding SiLK to Entware-ng?
Some more background info.

Another side note: is there some obstacle in upgrading rrdtool to > v1.4 ?

 

[ryzhov_al]

Have you considered adding SiLK to Entware-ng?
Some more background info.

Not sure it's quite popular. As for me, I see no sense to add rarely used packages.

Another side note: is there some obstacle in upgrading rrdtool to > v1.4 ?

The newer versions requires Cairo/Pango libs, which depends on X libs and X configurations.

Sync with openwrt

Some changes:

Openwrt have switched from php5 to php7 and deleted php5 from the repo. We do have php5 in the repo but recommend to switch to php7. php5 & php7 cannot be installed simultaineously!

inadyn - upgraded to version 2 with a different config format (/opt/etc/inadyn.conf):
https://github.com/troglobit/inadyn#example-configuration

Chagelog with all new and upgraded packages - https://github.com/Entware-ng/Entware-ng/wiki/Changelog#october-2016

 

[tomsk]

did an opkg upgrade and got this

* check_data_file_clashes: Package findutils-find wants to install file /opt/bin/find
    But that file is already provided by package  * findutils

anything need to be done?

 

[jrmwvu04]

I had that as well. I was able to resolve it by issuing

opkg --force-reinstall install findutils

Afterwards, reissuing "opkg upgrade" went through and replaced package findutils with findutils-find as reported by "opkg list-installed"

entware-opt - 222108-3
findutils-find - 4.6.0-1
htop - 2.0.2-1
ldconfig - 2.23-5
libc - 2.23-5
libgcc - 5.4.0-5
libncurses - 6.0-1b
libncursesw - 6.0-1b
libopenssl - 1.0.2j-1
libpthread - 2.23-5
librt - 2.23-5
libssp - 5.4.0-5
libstdcpp - 5.4.0-5
locales - 2.23-5
openssh-sftp-server - 7.3p1-3
pixelserv-tls - V35.HZ12.Ki-1
terminfo - 6.0-1b
zlib - 1.2.8-1

Also changed was entware-opt incremented from 222108-2 to 22108-3.
