Github master branch, openvpn-openssl missing

For Developers

Hi,

I was just trying to refresh a build I had locally - so pulled the latest from Github (master), also updated the feeds. But when I make menuconfig ... openvpn-openssl seems to be missing now? Or is it just me?

Thanks!

Hi,

I just did the same thing. Missing for me too.

I still went ahead and flashed the firmware and manually installed it afterwards.

Yep, that's what I did as well :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:. It works, but figured folks would want to know that it's broken.

Thanks!

Hi,

I may be missing it (entirely possible!), but not seeing this back in place and working yet - do you?

Thanks!

It is just you
And your dirty package data.

Openvpn package moved from the main OpenWrt to the packages repo in December, and that move may confuse the package database semi-hidden in tmp/ as .package* files.

$ ls -a1 tmp/.package*
tmp/.packageauxvars
tmp/.packagedeps
tmp/.packageinfo
tmp/.packageusergroup

Update feeds, then "rm -rf tmp", then install feeds.

That should make the buildsystem to again find the package properly.

Ps. also "make dirclean" would do the same, as "tmp/" is deleted along the toolchain.
