Because I was using the imagebuilder repo, I was relying on the ipq60xx repo being available, but now that it is gone I can no longer build the firmware. Also numerous images in glinet/images.json at master · gl-inet/glinet · GitHub can no longer be built because the 40xx repo is no longer available.
Can these be made public again, or do you know any alternatives, or have any idea why this happened? Thanks
The alternative is either compiling a snapshot from OpenWrt directly, I have my suspicion you talk about the Flint 1?, they recently have some work on this.
If there is no image available there, you can look into wlanap.
This is where these buildtools were based on, you will build without the gl ui though.
As for this, there are alot of regulations in China and other countries, this means due to the laws of these countries GL-iNet is forced to sell locked down routers with firmware which don't include vpns and such in those countries only, due to this reason they cannot give away anymore their builders.
Okay, so from what I understand Flint 1 is not fully supported by the official OpenWrt at this moment, although perhaps this could change in the future. It looks like wlan-ap v2.6.0 was used for the latest version of the official GL-iNet firmware, so that's a good sign. Fortunately I don't need the GL UI.
