All:
I realize that this forum is for OpenWrt, as it is the progenitor of Entware, I thought someone here might be able to assist with my issue.
I am running into an issue trying to build Entware tools. I have all the build dependancies satisfied except for python 2.7, which is no longer available in the current repository.
opkg update
Downloading http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz
Updated list of available packages in /opt/var/opkg-lists/entware
I attempted to install the archived version of python 2.7, but opkg complains with the following:
curl --output python_2.7.17-2_armv7-2.6.ipk http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/archive/python_2.7.17-2_armv7-2.6.ipk
opkg install ./python_2.7.17-2_armv7-2.6.ipk
Unknown package 'python'.
Collected errors:
- pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for python found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
- opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package python.
cat /opt/etc/entware_release

Python3 & dependancies install without issue:

I find it ironic that Entware no longer provides the required python 2.7 package(s) that is required to build Entware tools.
Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
