Extroot Firmware Configuration

[NovaViper]

Hey, does the luci app have support for generating firmware configs that have the necessary packages for routers with extroot? I have an Archer A7 V5 with a 8GB USB stick connected to it and I have my packages loaded onto that via Extroot.

Good questions, from my understanding you have some packages "locally" installed and some "externally"? Do all these packages show up the same way when you run opkg list-installed?

If so, the current implementation can not tell what package was locally or externally installed.

I actually can't verify if the packages are on the machine's chips themselves or the usb because I scrapped the configuration last week. But from what I remember the packages were all moved over to the usb (hence, externally mounted)

May be opkg extras will be usefull for the autoupgrade/autorestore process : https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/advanced/opkg_extras
