I originally made this question in the realtek-poe tread link but no one in that audience seems to know why this happens so I do a wider question?
Can anyone explain what the difference is when I copy paste the package between the computers vs. install it in my github repo and download it in the package folder.
- I can install the realtek-poe patch on my clean buildroot on the computer and it makes a package in the network folder. And it works after build.
- I can copy the realtek-poe package from the above buildroot and clone a new clean buildroot and past the above realtek-poe folder to the package folder in the new buildroot and it work after build.
- But if I save the realtek-poe folder in my github cloud repo in the network folder and download a clone new buildroot with the realtek-poe folder preinstalled in the package folder. Well it builds without errors or warnings and installed the realtek-poe package but realtek-poe doesn’t work and it cant be turned on (error with init.d) and it isn’t registered in ubus list!?
I can’t get why it can’t work from a github download, it is the exactly the same files and setup on case 2 and 3!?
I also tried having the package as a stand alone repo and downloading it manually to packages folder and that failed as usual.
How do I get this package preinstalled in my github repo?
