Just wondering if there was a method to request packages to be added to the GL iNet repo for the flint 3 or a method to build them ourselves with a build env. I am specificly looking to add the following 3 packages so I can have stats from my Flint 3 sent to mqtt to later flow into Home Assistant. Thank you for any help anyone or GLiNet can provide!
collectd-mod-mqtt
collectd-mod-uptime
collectd-mod-ping

if anyone does drop in here and the LUCI config doesnt work for you, you can go custom with it via cli.
uci set collectd.globals.alt_config_file='/etc/collectd-custom.conf'
uci commit collectd
and put your manual config in /etc/collectd-custom.conf and restart collectd, example of my config:
BaseDir "/var/run/collectd"
PIDFile "/var/run/collectd.pid"
PluginDir "/usr/lib/collectd"
