Hi list, I just pushed an experimental commit to my staging tree which updates opkg to an improved custom LEDE fork [1] which attempts to minimize the memory usage requirements to make opkg usable on low memory devices again.
Some preliminary testing on virtual and physical x86/64 targets showed a drop in memory usage of about 90%, from > 3MB to under < 400KB. If you like to help testing, apply https://git.lede-project.org/9eac1b0.patch to your tree and rebuild opkg using "make package/opkg/host/{clean,compile} package/opkg/{clean,compile}". Things that need verification: - proper behavior of opkg on the host when staging packages into the root file system - proper behavior of opkg on the target when updating, installing and removing packages - required run time of opkg when working on the target ~ Jo 1: https://git.lede-project.org/?p=project/opkg-lede.git;a=summary _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
