Yeah, I've been trying find the cause of that for a few hours now. The imagebuilders are broken, I can duplicate this without ASU. The Packages file is empty after it the packages_reload target runs.

@aparcar Does this look familiar? I think it's in the package_index target of the imagebuilder Makefile, but I'm not sure.

1033

I found the fixes for that, Paul already committed them a while ago, so they're just working their way through the pipeline and the next set of imagebuilders should work fine.

Edit: this is the fix https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/999ef8270fcce23ff976f3361f562f96ecee7b21

1034

And while I was poking around, apk became the default package manager: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/40b8fbaa9754c86480eefc3692c9116a51a64718

So, I'm guessing updates on SNAPSHOT are going to be, uh, exciting for the next couple of days.

The file at this address cannot be accessed.
Is this related to work on the update server, or will something need to be changed manually?

1037

That's one of the broken parts that needs to be fixed over the next week or two. There's no package index available on the upstream servers yet (well, there's packages.adb, but I can't find any documentation on its format, so I can't figure out how to parse it).

Hi all, now i' m using 23.03.5 on my tp-link Archer ax23 but i actived an ftth link and i got 350/350 mbps instead of 2500(1000 limited by my Wan Speed)/1000 mpbs

I found an issue on GitHub on 23.03.5 that slow down speed on pppoe connection. I solved the problem by activating software and hardware flow offloading, now i reach 940 mpbs...

If i understand it good, 23.05.x risolve this problem so i would to upgrade my OpenWrt installation.

In the Archer ax23 Page i read that It supports 23.05.4 but on the firmware selector i can select 23.05.5 also!

Can i install 23.05.5 or i must install .4 version?

1040

The table of hardware is manually updated after a release is made and lags behind the code. You should update to the newest stable version available, whatever that may be right now.

I tried to create an sysupgrade image from Attended Sysupgrade, so i selected 23.05 and requested it. But i got this STDERR error:

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci-ssl.
make[2]: *** [Makefile:189: package_install] Error 255
make[1]: *** [Makefile:154: _call_manifest] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:274: manifest] Error 2

I tried removing luci-ssl from packages list and the building process goes with no problem. Can i upgrade without luci-ssl package safely ?

1042

Should be no problem, as long as the luci package is there you'll still have access (albeit via http instead of https).

Do you also have any openssl (or even wolfssl) packages installed? Maybe they are interfering. Was there anything about ssl/tls in the stdout/stderr?

1043

@aparcar

hi Paul, the firmware selector is failing all builds.

tested with: several qualcomm devices from several targets. just add a single packages, such as luci-ssl or fstrim, and the build fails.

no error is produced. instead the last output is:

WARNING: opening packages/packages.adb: No such file or directory
Package list missing or not up-to-date, generating it.

Building package index...

and a list of packages, and then the build fails with no further output.

1044

Coincidentally I just fixed it, sorry for the fallout.

at this stage the build does not start, when you click on the request button nothing happens

1046

thanks! i confirm.

btw, is there a way to retrigger a previously cached but failed build from the FW selector? i think sometimes a build fails seemingly because of a race condition between the build of the FW builder and the build triggered by the FW selector.

1047

@aparcar

hmm... i just bricked a device using a FW selector custom build.

device is Arris TR4400 v2. it was running 23.05.x. i used FW sel to create snapshot + "luci luci-ssl openssh-sftp-server luci-app-attendedsysupgrade owut ip-bridge", which succeed. then used luci to flash the fw. luci complained that settings needed to be wiped (swconfig -> DSA), which was expected. i selected wipe settings, force, then hit GO.

unfortunately, i did not think of flashing the standard snapshot build first; i did not expect a failure. so IDK if this is related to FW sel or not, but reporting it here nonetheless.

the device goes into a bootloop. it does not reach the failsafe wait-for-button stage. it is probably failing with a panic earlier, assuming the bootloader even attempts to boot the kernel, but IDK.

at some point i will need to tap into the serial port to unravel this.

1048

Just did the same trying to upgrade a R6220 (mt7621). My guess is that snapshots are undergoing heavy changes due to transition from opkg to apk. Some settings may also need to be refined. Hence snapshots images may be broken for the time being.

1049

did you use a custom image from the FW selector or a regular snapshot?

1050

ok, something really weird is happening with the way the snapshot kernel is treating multiple MTD partitions that occupy the same flash area and is causing boot to fail. @aparcar, this is unrelated to the FW selector.
