Sysupgrade is new release, opkg is new packages.
The command line opkg upgrade <package>
is the same as clicking the upgrade for that package in LuCI. It is this action that is not recommended unless there is a specific reason to perform that upgrade.
The sysupgrade
command line tool is the same as the LuCI flash new firmware image
option. This is the mechanism by which you should be upgrading your device to the newest OpenWrt version (you can also use ASU/OWUT which uses this underlying command). This method is fine, and it will upgrade the kernel and all necessary components of OpenWrt.
hi guys, i have upgraded to 22.03.7 using Luci has you suggested.
But now i try to upgrade to 23.05.0-rc1 and have again an error message.
Does it means that all my configuration will be losted ?
And i had luci-app-xxx that have been unistalled during upgrade process.
Is it normal ?
Thks.
Arnaud
go directly to 23.05.5, or 24.10.
yes, but you can export it, but probably not reimport it as a whole.
it is, unless you added them to the image using firmware-selector.
The first error message explains the situation in detail: you can't migrate the swconfig to DSA. So follow the advice from @frollic:
Uncheck the keep settings box, after doing the above.

Does it means that all my configuration will be losted ?
As described earlier, you must not keep your settings (doing so will soft-brick the router). Unchecking the "Keep settings" box will allow the device to reset to defaults during the upgrade process.
It is a good idea to make a backup before you upgrade. That backup can be used as a human readable resource to help remind you of your previous configuration. Do not restore that backup to the device, though, as it will result in the same soft-brick situation as you'd have if you keep settings across the upgrade. If you have a complex configuration, there may be some (limited) files that you can copy over, in part or in full, but this would be done on a file-by-file basis and not en-mass.
If your config is relatively simple, just recreate from scratch -- it can be as quick as a few minutes of work in most situations.
We can also review the complexity and make recommendations if you'd like -- we'll just need to see a few config files.
You are all remarkable and I thank you for your support!
I've been using OpenWRT for many years now.
I thought opkg upgrade was enough, and now I realize I have many versions behind.
Berfore upgrading, here are some files to keep

some doubt on /etc/openvpn/EasyRSA-3.1.7/
I am right ?
tks.
Arnaud
hi all, i finally upgraded to last release.
But now, a lot of configuration have to be restored !
ddns, firewall, dhcp etc..
first try...
# uci set openvpn.openwrt=openwrt
uci: Entry not found
What are your suggestions now to apply my old configuration ?
Tks.
Arnaud

What are your suggestions now to apply my old configuration ?

but probably not reimport it as a whole.

That backup can be used as a human readable resource to help remind you of your previous configuration. Do not restore that backup to the device, though, as it will result in the same soft-brick situation
This advice is still valid. You will use the backup as a reference to reconfigure your device.
Hello @lleachii , i do not assume to do this job at each upgrade.
Is it really the only way to keep openwrt up to date ?
thanks, Arnaud
the big red box you posted three times, explains why a reset had to be done.

i do not assume to do this job at each upgrade.
Is it really the only way to keep openwrt up to date ?
Maybe some clarifications will help:
- Service upgrades (i.e. 24.10.0 - 24.10.1 when it comes out) are simple, can keep settings, and are generally very reliable.
- Keeping settings across major upgrades is usually possible for n-1 to n (where n is the current version and n-1 is the just previous major version). For example, 23.05 -> 24.10. This is a really good reason why you should stay up to date.
- Keeping settings when upgrading from n-2 and further is not typically supported and may not work properly. This is the other reason that you should stay up to date.
- In some specific situations, a 'breaking change' is necessary for the upgrade. For example, the DSA transition or when the ar71xx target migrated to ath79 (same devices, but different methods for addressing the hardware). These are relatively rare and are typically a one-and-done situation, but require a reset-to-defaults (i.e. don't keep settings) during the upgrade. Configure from scratch here, and then subsequent upgrades should be simple.
With all upgrades, packages must be re-installed. But you can avoid that by using OWUT/ASU to perform the upgrade. When this is used, upgrading is super simple... click, wait a few mins, done.

https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.0&target=mpc85xx%2Fp1010&id=tplink_tl-wdr4900-v1
is in my favorites
Thank you very much to all !
Arnaud
Hey all, after reading OWUT/ASU from your suggestions, i know have a new issue.
I suppose that all is clear for you, but no idea of what to do now.

ERROR: Build failed with status 500
The above errors are often due to the upgrade server lagging behind the
build server, first suggestion is to wait a while and try again.
Many thanks again for your help.

... first suggestion is to wait a while and try again.
Please read the output top to bottom and bottom to top.

The above errors are often due to the upgrade server lagging behind the build server, first suggestion is to wait a while and try again.
i did wait, and tryied again today, same problem. Sorry, but really not clear for me. What is wrong here ?
What does it mean by wait a while ?
35 packages now has te be uptaded...
Thanks again for your time.
Arnaud
so i installed snapshot, and now
# opkg
-ash: opkg: not found
# owut upgrade
-ash: owut: not found
luci not installed ???
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/
not very easy to understand what is the roadmap. it looks like a nightmare
Arnaud
If you're using snapshot, you need to use apk.
apk has replaced opkg in main branch SNAPSHOT builds The apk switchover is an ongoing process, and still has several issues to resolve. If you do not wish to deal with the issues inherent in bleeding edge snapshots, then it is strongly suggested that you move to the 24.10 branch, the latest -rc is your best bet (check here https://downloads.openwrt.org/). @ynezz has graciously copied out the contents of the cheatsheet and put it in the wiki for all to edit. It is ready for you (yes, you) …
Stable releases up to and including 24.10 use opkg (and they also have LuCI pre-installed).
thank you @psherman , so it was not a good idea to install snapshot !
i was thinking snapshot is like stable because first in the list ..
My bad !
i tryied to go back to 24.10.0, but no way.
