I'm wondering are there plans to add back all the php packages too?

I’m also using the GL-AX1800 / Flint with Firmware 4.7.0, and I’m personally having trouble due to the absence of many previously available packages. For example:

  • iptables-mod-ipopt
  • map
  • cryptsetup
  • kmod-crypto-ecb
  • kmod-crypto-xts
  • kmod-crypto-seqiv
  • kmod-crypto-misc
  • kmod-crypto-user
  • btrfs-progs
  • kmod-fs-btrfs
  • dumpe2fs
  • hd-idle
  • luci-app-hd-idle
  • luci-i18n-hd-idle-ja
  • kmod-usb-printer
  • p910nd
  • luci-app-p910nd
  • smartmontools
  • smartd
  • lsblk
  • fdisk
  • shadow-useradd
  • shadow-su
  • shadow-chsh
  • shadow-usermod
  • drill
  • luci-i18n-base-ja
  • luci-i18n-samba4-ja

As you can see, my setup uses MAP-E (map) and connects a btrfs-on-LUKS HDD and a USB printer via a USB hub.

Among these, "MAP-E / map" may be unfamiliar to some, but it is one of the protocols that provides IPv4-over-IPv6 connectivity, similar to DS-Lite. It’s especially common among internet providers in Japan.
[OpenWrt Wiki] MAP IPv4-over-IPv6 encapsulation

Just to be clear, all of these packages and configurations worked perfectly as intended on Firmware 4.6.8.

I sincerely hope that the missing packages—especially essential ones like the above—will be recompiled and made available soon.
Being able to freely use OpenWRT packages is one of the main reasons I choose GL.iNet devices in the first place—at least for me.

In my case, after updating Flint AX-1800 to 4.7.0, I found that bind-host, and ClamAV are no longer available. Whilst ClamAV isn't a big deal, bind-host means that the router cannot update my IP address to my DDNS provider. After install, three apps are mentioned to provide the update, but none of them are available. Also, I can no longer disable DDNS in LuCi, the button remains on STOP DDNS, even after pressing it!!!!

this is ridicoulus, just compile all 4.6.x packages pls

@manderss99 I assume that is what they are doing, compiling all previous packages that were in 4.6.x, one package at a time, probably with some sort of prioritization based on input from this thread.

@PanWise even made such a comment, basically saying they are adding it all back, with prioritization based on user input.

Maybe someone from GL can give us clear guidance regarding when ALL of the packages will be available?

Same here, I was surprised that I can no longer find freeradius package

Thanks for the problem, I had to rollback to previous version and do all the setup from 0 again due to not backing up (that's my fault for not backing up before upgrading :joy: )

I’m in the same boat - still waiting on those packages we depend on. Just checked the repo stats, and it seems that after the initial flurry of activity to add the missing packages, there hasn’t been much progress in the last week (just a handful packages added but very few of those that were mentioned here). Now also considering not moving 4.7 into production, and to be honest, I’m leaning towards switching vendors for new deployments.

@PanWise: can we get some update on this from GL please?

Hi @PanWise, can you please put these packages into the priority list?

  • usbutils
  • kmod-usb-serial-ftdi

Hi @PanWise ,

While the luci-app-sqm package appears to be back it's cake qdisc option is missing as you can see from the screen shot below. The only qdisc option availavle is fq_codel. Please add this package with all its options back as a priority package to update. The cake qdisc was available in previous firmware.

@PanWise is there any update? This is blocking for our customer deployment and onboarding, thank you.

@PanWise I would like place my vote for squid and associated pkgs. Was hoping to get a caching proxy setup for doing portable online testing for small groups via cellular tethering.

@bruce are you able to assist those of us in this thread who are being affected by the missing packages?

@bruce I appreciate your response to fix this.

Adding my needs to the list - I use the GL-AXT1800 as the router/DNS/iPXE host for my OpenShift home lab - Building a Single Node OpenShift Home Lab - Agent Based Install - Upstream - Without A Paddle

4.7.0 broke multiple capabilities that are needed for the lab, and I've had several people who use my Blog for their own labs reach out to me when they updated and their labs also broke. I've been instructing folks to down grade to v4.6.11 for now.

Packages I need -
ip-full
procps-ng-ps
bind-server
bind-tools
bash
sfdisk
rsync
resize2fs
wget
block-mount
wipefs
coreutils-nohup
etherwake
nginx-all-module

Cheers

Received the request. Submit to R&D to compile these plugins and will add to the GL repo if they work. Please wait.
