List of repositories in built image does not contain community packages repository

[yusi-01]

Hi everyone. I built OpenWRT for x86_64 with feeds.conf.default left alone and feeds.conf left alone. But I am only able to see a few repositories in the resulting image:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update

*** Failed to download the package list from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/x86/64/kmods/6.6.73-1-6eb4293ec9db6c5435d517f6b87443f0/Packages.gz

Collected errors:
 * opkg_download: Failed to download https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/x86/64/kmods/6.6.73-1-6eb4293ec9db6c5435d517f6b87443f0/Packages.gz, wget returned 8.

The error with the kernel repository is expected as I customized the kernel.

I am unable to see the community repository and therefore cannot install packages from it.

/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf in resulting image:

Do you have the feeds enabled in you .config? Do make menuconfig and search (using /) for feed_...

I can only see this:

The problem was an empty feeds.conf that I created in the source directory and forgot to remove.

Oops! That'll do it.
