Package repository ?

Post by jenom »

I have removed some packages with OPKG to make some empty space, now the gargoyle login window does show up properly.
I still can see "something" when go to 192.168.1.1
I believe I need to restore three packages:
1)gargoyle-1.3.16-6
2)webmon-gargoyle-1.3.16-6
3)gargoyle-firewall-util

My search only found a repository, where there are no packages....just files to view as a webpage !

Any attempt to tftp the original bin file failed, because for some reason file transfer does not start.

I still have internet connection through the router, I can reach files by using putty from windows.

Any suggestion where can I find a repository for packages where there are packages in xxxx.ipk format ?

Thank you for your help !

Re: Package repository/404 not found error

Post by jenom »

thanks for the reply, this is what I did:

found opkg.conf in /etc
here is what is in there

src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 ... 4/packages
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /jffs


changed to

src/gz snapshots http://gargoyle-router.com/packages/backfire/brcm47xx
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /jffs

did opkg update, seemingly went ok,

however, when tried opkg install, got
"server returned error=HTTP/1.1/ 404 not found"

This is what I have typed:

opkg install http://gargoyle-router.com/packages/bac ... 3.16-6.ipk

I think, I do not need to enter the http://..., part
just type "opkg install package name"
But when I did that, did not work either !
So I must have entered the http:// .... destination in the config file wrong ?
I am not even sure, what is the correct format for the package name,
is "gargoyle-1.3.16-6" correct ?

Thanks for all the help, I need to learn a lot !


Thanks

You must try again

Add this below line to yr opkg.conf file
src/gz ... unchanged
src gargoyle ... her gargoyle link
... unchanged the rest

Run opkg update, then opkg install the packages

You don't need the full link since opkg maintains the list

modified opkg.conf , copy/paste below:

src gargoyle http://gargoyle-router.com/packages/backfire/brcm47xx
dest root /

did "opkg update" .......all good :D

Since this a different problem, I will start a new thread about it !
