opkg address for rdc (openwrt) packages

[Panagiotis Atmatzidis]

Hello,

I want to install ruby1.9 on bifferboard. I just flashed a jffs image ,don't know exactly which one, here is the uname:

root@OpenWrt:/etc# uname -a

Linux OpenWrt 2.6.32.20 #5 Mon Feb 7 23:21:40 GMT 2011 i486 GNU/Linux

And then cat opkg.conf gives me:

---------------------------------------------------------------

root@OpenWrt:/etc# cat opkg.conf

src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/rdc/packages

dest root /

dest ram /tmp

lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists

option overlay_root /overlay

---------------------------------------------------------------

The http address for rdc does not exist. Is there any other repo I can or should I make a custom precompiled image in order to have ruby support?

Thanks

I don't follow the changes made to OpenWrt, but looking at
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ it would appear that rdc
is no longer a supported platform?!?
You could _try_ using
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/rdc/packages
but I have no idea whether that'll work or not for your particular JFFS image.

Yeah, that'd be the safest/most reliable/most up-to-date option. Start here:

Florian merged rdc in x86 directory.

Oh! I guess in that case Panagiotis simply needs to change his opkg.conf to
src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/x86/packages

?

Yes, it should work.
But not for all packages, because x86 trunk is now based on kernel 3.3.8.

Hello,

I get no menu under "Ruby" in languages (programming languages) menu in bb's github's repo. Is support for ruby "dropped" ? :-)

There's some command you have to run in order to get openwrt to import
the latest set of packages...
I think it's something like:
cd openwrt
make package/symlinks

and then make menuconfig should show you a lot more options. I think ;-)

Run "./scripts/feeds update" for update database.
After, you will find all additional softwares in "make menuconfig".
