I wanted to upgrade my mom's WRT54G v2.2 from WR 0.9 to Backfire 10.03. But during installation the flash space got full and OpenVPN couldn't be installed.
First I built an image without luci, then all packages fit into the flash mem. But when installing webif I got the same "disk full" error for it. Putting all needed kmods directly into the kernel didn't free enough space. Then I checked the sizes and dependencies of the needed packages between WR and Backfire. It turned out that OpenVPN installation grew by 148KB, and that BF had some more dependencies than WR. What is the smallest version of Luci possible? (luci-admin-mini + ???) Can OpenVPN be compiled to a smaller size? Is there a reason why OpenVPN grew so much, besides being a newer version? Is there a reason why OpenVPN needs zlib, besides being a newer version? Any help greatly appreciated Maddes Here is the list of the packages I need, plus a size comparison between WR 0.9 <-> Backfire. iptables-mod-[conntrack-]extra 8603 -> 15081 kmod-ipt-[conntrack-]extra 14188 -> 10446 ntpclient 11397 -> 17461 librt n/a -> 1102 ddns-scripts (ez-ipudate) 26368 -> 6570 openvpn 137843 -> 195446 (+58KB, 2.0.8 -> 2.1.1) kmod-tun 4944 -> 4860 libopenssl 445303 -> 500879 (+55KB, 0.9.8d -> 0.9.8m) liblzo 29113 -> 28782 zlib n/a -> 35023 (+35KB) sslh n/a -> 7333 etherwake (ether-wake) 4799 -> 6078 webif 155712 -> 168862 webif-theme-xwrt 3765 -> n/a haserl 8210 -> 12277 uhttpd (in busybox?) -> 22110 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
