Package lime-debug dependency to iputils-ping6

[FreifunkUFO]

when i tried to compile libremesh i failed with openwrt-trunk. the package "iputils-ping6" seems to be missing, so i got this error: u@PC:~/git2/openwrt$ time make V=99 WARNING: Makefile 'package/feeds/libremesh/lime-debug/Makefile' has a dependency on 'iputils-ping6', which does not exist WARNING: Makefile 'package/feeds/libremesh/lime-proto-bgp/Makefile' has a dependency on 'bird4', which does not exist WARNING: Makefile 'package/feeds/libremesh/lime-proto-bgp/Makefile' has a dependency on 'bird6', which does not exist ... Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for lime-debug: * iputils-ping6

when trying it with openwrt brunch 19.07 i got only these bird-errors. also on openwrt packages-download dirs there is no iputils-ping6 any more. (f.i. https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/i386_pentium/base/)

so, do we have to change https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/blob/master/packages/lime-debug/Makefile ?

Thanks for reporting, this is the topic of the long thread started here on the mailing list lime-users. The proper solution would be to create a branch for development on OpenWrt snapshot and keep the master branch for development on the latest OpenWrt release. @spiccinini As a temporary solution, deselect the lime-debug package when you compile on OpenWrt snapshot.

Good to see that someone else also ran into the same problem ;-) Hope to see a solution soon...

Hey @FreifunkUFO and @AndyMcSchopf what about recyclimg the solution implemented by @G10h4ck in #823?

Tat PR address also de lime-debug dependency issue so once it is merged this issue is solved too

[AndyMcSchopf]

Sounds good for me ;-)

[ilario]

The merging of #823 fixed this issue but just when compiling with the buildroot method and the full git history (see #863 and https://github.com/aparcar/asu/issues/267). So I would consider this not fixed.

[ilario]

Trying to update, correct me if I am wrong please.

In OpenWrt 19.07 there is both iputils-ping and iputils-ping6: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.7/packages/x86_64/base/

Since OpenWrt 21.02 iputils-ping6 disappeared, likely merged iputils-ping? https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.1/packages/x86_64/packages/

So, the dependencies should just be different for the upcoming 2020.2 release based on OpenWrt 19.07 and for the next 2023.1 release based on OpenWrt 22.03.

[ilario]

I just observed this issue compiling on OpenWrt 22.03, so I can confirm that we need to fix this for the 2023.1 release, that will be based on OpenWrt 22.03.

[G10h4ck]

I am compiling against OpenWrt main branch and it works perfectly, iputils-ping is installed with the option to install also the legacy symlinks ping4 and ping6

[ilario]

I installed shared-state and lime-debug as OPKG packages on clean OpenWrt and it did not work. I got dependencies errors.

[G10h4ck]

Although it is nice to be able to install like that, we really only supports building from OpenWrt buildroot

[ilario]

Currently. But it would be awesome to be able to use https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org or another SDK or ImageBuilder, like we used to do. No?

[G10h4ck]

It would be, but I am not sure we manage to get there.

[ilario]

Let's continue this ImageBuilder discussion on #1000

[ilario]

And there is no reason for keeping the back-compatibility thing, now that we target OpenWrt 22.03 with the master branch, no?

[G10h4ck]

yeah no reason to keep retro-compatibility anymore
