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.

So one quick followup. I identified, that most packages belong to the following topics:
- samba4: Which I use. So it is ok
- usbutils: Which I believe belongs to the external HDD. So ok.
- dbus: What is this? Was it replaced by ubus and therefore I can delete dbus and dependencies?
