Default packages R7800 21.02 rc3

Hello,

I have just upgraded my R7800 to 21.02.0-rc3, using the upgrade guide. I also used the opkg save/restore feature. As I'm not 100% sure, if I still need all of my custom installed packages, I'd like to know which packages are 21.02. default and which were installed by myself? Are those only the once in /etc/config/opkg? Or is there somewhere a file in the image, that lists all default packages for R7800? With this I would be able to analyze the delta.

Thanks in advance for your help

You can find the packages installed in squashfs in /rom/usr/lib/opkg/status

Thanks a lot. Some of the differences from default can I explain, e.g. OpenVPN. I'm a little confused about all the lib* packages. Most of them are also not included in /etc/config/opkg. Therefore I assume that they were installed as dependencies from OpenVPN or so.

attr
avahi-dbus-daemon
dbus
libatomic1
libattr
libavahi-client
libavahi-dbus-support
libcap
libdaemon
libdbus
libelf1
libevdev
libexpat
libgmp10
libgnutls
liblzo2
libmbedtls12
libnettle8
libpam
libpopt0
libreadline8
libtasn1
libtirpc
libudev-zero
liburing
libusb-1.0-0
luci-app-openvpn
luci-app-samba4
luci-lib-iptparser
openvpn-easy-rsa
openvpn-openssl
samba4-libs
samba4-server
usbids
usbutils

So one quick followup. I identified, that most packages belong to the following topics:

  1. samba4: Which I use. So it is ok
  2. usbutils: Which I believe belongs to the external HDD. So ok.
  3. dbus: What is this? Was it replaced by ubus and therefore I can delete dbus and dependencies?
