`sqm-scripts-extra` - version number update needed?

[richb-hanover]

I saw a note - https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/23706 - that details a switch of OpenWrt to using the APK package manager in place of the unmaintained opkg. That issue lists a number of packages whose version number doesn't match the required major.minor.fix format. (See the note for details.)

I see that it lists sqm-scripts-extra. I'm guessing that this is relevant to this repo. Does anything need to be done? Many thanks.

Adding @hnyman - It appears that sqm-scripts-extra hasn't been updated for 8 years. https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/openwrt-23.05/net/sqm-scripts-extra/src

• Are they still relevant?
• Does anything need to be done for a switch to APK?

Thanks again

The ancient package sqm-scripts-extra could be removed. I added it 8 years ago as cake was under development and there was a need to provide easier access to it before it came officially here. Later cake has been officially adopted into SQM, (and the cake qdisc itself into Linux).

I will remove the package.
