missing packages, please add these to the repo:

zram-swap
Hello,
The R&D will try to compile these plugins, if compile without issue, they will be added to the repository.

Out of curiosity, have you considered enabling zram-swap by default for devices with less than 1GB of memory? I was previously using it on my Beryl AX when using AdGuard.
Hi,
I will submit it to PM team for evaluation. I guess it might be because swap may use flash frequently, causing the lifespan to be consumed early, so we are not considering to pre-install.
zram-swap only swaps to memory (by compressing data), it doesn’t use non-volatile storage.

Please add diffutils and patch if possible.
Reason: I’ve started maintaining a list of changes to re-apply when I re-flash this router (and others like my Beryl AX) and don’t keep the old settings.
BTW, is it documented anywhere how I can build my own packages? I looked but I didn’t find info on building a specific OpenWrt package … I could have missed it though.
I will submit these two plug-ins to R&D, if they can be adapted and compiled normally.
Compiling the plug-in may be requires gl sdk, but we currently will not make the closed-source sdk public for some reasons. Feel sorry.
If it is an open-source SDK, you can obtain the relevant SDK through the wlan-ap project (AX1800/AXT1800) and the openwrt project (MT3000/MT6000 op24 firmware) to compile your plug-in.

Question: is GL.iNet keeping a list of packages to compile for every release of firmware for the wlan-ap devices (AXT-1800 and I guess AX-1800)?
I ask for a couple reasons.
I will submit these two plug-ins to R&D, if they can be adapted and compiled normally.
The first reason is, patch and diffutils are very basic Unix-y utilities, and I was quite surprised to find I couldn’t install them via OpenWrt.
The second reason is, I found some other old threads complaining about lack of packages for the AXT-1800, and I’m hoping I won’t have to ask for ones like patch and diffutils again when a new version of the firmware is released 
The third reason is, if I can figure out how to build packages with the wlan-ap SDK, maybe I could make a list of basic packages which compile easily, and give it to you, so that your engineers could build those packages for every subsequent release of firmware for the wlan-ap devices, and thus have fewer threads with people complaining and asking for packages to be built in the future 
I like the AXT-1800 and I really like being able to use DFS channels on it, so I’d like to continue using GL.iNet firmware rather than switch to vanilla OpenWrt once support is added (in the next OpenWrt stable release after 24.10, is the rumor). But I, and probably some other power users, are likely to keep asking for basic utility packages such as patch and diffutils. So maybe I can help out by making a list of ones that are easy to provide in the future.
diffutils and patch have been added to repo:
root@GL-AXT1800:~# opkg list patch
patch - 2.7.6-7 - The Patch package contains a program for modifying or creating files
by applying a "patch" file typically created by the diff program.
