[Solved] Firmware Selection: Customize installed packages

[bigsmile]

There my eye fell on the "Customize installed packages" option Does it resolve dependencies or do I need to add them also?

luci-app-wireguard

or

luci-proto-wireguard libuci-lua luci-app-wireguard kmod-crypto-lib-chacha20poly1305 kmod-crypto-lib-poly1305 kmod-udptunnel4 kmod-udptunnel6 kmod-crypto-kpp kmod-wireguard wireguard-tools kmod-crypto-lib-curve25519 kmod-crypto-lib-chacha20

Dependencies are resolved anyway.
Where did you read this?

[bigsmile]

Apparently not all I had to add "luci". Probably for a reason I don't understand yet.

luci luci-app-wireguard

[trendy]

root@barracuda:[~]#opkg depends luci-app-wireguard
luci-app-wireguard depends on:
        libc
        wireguard-tools
        kmod-wireguard
        luci-proto-wireguard

root@barracuda:[~]#opkg depends luci-proto-wireguard
luci-proto-wireguard depends on:
        libc
        kmod-wireguard
        wireguard-tools

It's not in the dependencies list.

Yes, but why isn't it? If you install a luci-app its quite obvious that you require luci in order to use it, no?

The question is why isn't luci in the stable build that you are using. I would understand that if you were building on a snapshot which comes without luci.

(You have to specifically add luci-ssl or luci to the Firmware Selector list.)

See:

The OpenWrt Firmware Selector

I just observed another thing: When you browse to a device on the firmware selector - for a stable release, it offers you the file at the downloads site (i.e. including LuCI). But, the list of packages shown above the link doesn't include LuCI. You have to press "Request Build" to get an image with the packages listed (i.e. doesn't list LuCI). Those familiar with OpenWrt might observe that instantly, others might be confused. Just FYI.

Ahh I see .. so the problem is "choice"
