[Solved] Vpnc: package is missing?

Hi

it seems as if the package vpnc is not available. It's not in the package list on the router. It's not in the package list on https://openwrt.org/packages/index/network---vpn.

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards
S.

https://openwrt.org/packages/table/start?dataflt[Name_pkg-dependencies*~]=vpnc shows it exists in the index, at least for some architectures.

It is being maintained:

openwrt/feeds/packages$ git log net/vpnc
commit 494ce7118
Author: Rosen Penev <redacted>
Date:   Sat Jan 5 23:34:20 2019 -0800

    vpnc: Updated deprecated patch to include OpenSSL 1.1
    
    Patch was only for 1.0.2. This adds 1.1 support.

Have you run opkg update or used its LuCI equivalent?

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.2/packages/x86_64/packages/

The vpnc package is missing, possibly due to some kind of compilation error.

Yes, I tried opkp update and LuCI.
As it is clear now, that the package is missing for [arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3], what is my best chance to get it for 18.06.2?

Seems to be because the 18.06 buildbot buildslaves do not have "svn" installed, so the sources can not be downloaded:

http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/faillogs/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/packages/vpnc/compile.txt

Checking out files from the svn repository...
/bin/sh: 1: svn: not found
/bin/sh: 1: svn: not found
Makefile:94: recipe for target '/builder/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/build/sdk/dl/vpnc-0.5.3.r550.tar.gz' failed

@jow
any possibility to get svn into the buildslaves ?
(I think that it is missing from some of the master slaves and apparently from the 18.06 slaves)

Ok,
so now we know it is missing (and probably why). How do I get this package for my 3200acm and 18.06.2? Is it downloadable somewhere or do I have to wait until 18.06.3?

Quickest way is that you setup an OpenWrt buildroot (e.g. in a virtualbox Ubuntu) and compile vpnc by yourself. (And install svn to your buildroot before starting the build).
