Many packages (e.g. nano, rsync) unavailable for Openwrt One?

Hi,
Sorry for another Novice Question. I wanted to install a couple of packages - rsync (so I can backup the overlayfs) and nano (because I suck at vi :wink: ). AFAICT they are both available per the package index (https://openwrt.org/packages/index/network---file-transfer and https://openwrt.org/packages/index/utilities---editors), and I've done opkg update which seems to work, and there are some packages available, just not either of these...

873
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg list | grep -i rsync

I've had a look round https://openwrt.org/packages/start and the packages FAQ, but I'm afraid I'm obviously still missing something obvious...

start by installing the RC5 - https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.0-rc5&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=openwrt_one
