[How-To] add "renewed firmware" repository

[ryzhov_al]

There is small software repository (http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/source/browse/#svn%2Fipkg%2Foptware%253Fstate%253Dclosed), which may be useful for you:
shakespeer (http://code.google.com/p/shakespeer/) - a DC-client,
USB/IP (http://usbip.sourceforge.net/) - for sharing USB-devices,
tmux (http://tmux.sourceforge.net/) - a terminal windows manager,
umurmur (http://code.google.com/p/umurmur/) - a voice chat server,
nano (http://www.nano-editor.org/) with UTF-8 support,

and other.

To use it, write those two string to /opt/etc/ipkg.conf:

src/gz wl500g-d http://wl500g.googlecode.com/svn/ipkg/optware-d
src/gz wl500g-optware http://wl500g.googlecode.com/svn/ipkg/optware
So your /opt/etc/ipkg.conf will looks like:

src/gz optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
src/gz wl500g-d http://wl500g.googlecode.com/svn/ipkg/optware-d
src/gz wl500g-optware http://wl500g.googlecode.com/svn/ipkg/optware

dest /opt/ /
Then update package list:

$ ipkg update
and install chosen package:

$ ipkg install tmux



Update. Please note, no more updates for this repo. Please, use the Entware (http://www.wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=28778) instead.

Hy, i find a little post wich is interesting about installing a DC client on my assus wl500gp with oleg's firmware on it here ( http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?p=242542#post242542 )

I did that, installed shakespeer but seems like shakespeer won't start. (seems that i have to install some library or something)


shakespeer: can't load library 'libevent-1.4.so.2'


Also if somebody can make a little how-to would be helphull. I only find russian post wich i can't understand.

The way to use shakespeer is like transmission or something, wich kind of interface i can use (how i put for serach or download, add servers, etc?

thank you very much !

Sorry, now libevent-1 is not supported by the Optware since libevent-2 is released. The Shakespeer project is closed long ago, but there is a microdc2, which inherits Shakespeer's code. You may try it, because its lighter and faster.

OH ! that is great, thanks. I installed but , but ... cuz i am a newbie i don't know nothing about it. Can you direct me to a post with an how to ? thanks !

OH ! that is great, thanks. I installed but , but ... cuz i am a newbie i don't know nothing about it. Can you direct me to a post with an how to ? thanks !

So i did google it a littel and i find some commands , used help & etc.

But i can't find where is config file for microdc2 because i find it on google a little how to about configuring , but is on linux, where you install micro dc on an directory, there you put config file.

On optware that i use i do not find where is the original config file for me to edit.

I finded the config file for shakespeer in /opt/etc/shakespeer but no microdc2 config file. I tryied to make an directory with an config file, even put in root of /opt/etc an microdc2.config but didn't worked. Thanks for your help !

[ryzhov_al]

Please, create your own config file and point a microdc2 to use it. Just for an example:


$ cat /opt/etc/micdodc2.conf
active off
auto_reconnect on
description Aptiva RT-N16 Automatic Station
display connections download joinpart publicchat searchresults upload
downloaddir /tmp/harddisk/torrent/
email crater@moon.com
filelist_refresh_interval 0
filesystem_charset UTF-8
hub_charset cp1251
listingdir /opt/tmp/
log connections download upload
log_charset UTF-8
logfile /opt/var/log/mircodc
nick chatlanin_router
password password
slots 5
speed LAN(T3)
tag microdc2 V:0.15.6


$ microdc2 -c /opt/etc/micdodc2.conf
I should warn you that DC-exchange is quite heavy for embedded systems. Compare left side of graphics where microdc2 is turned on with a right side at idle state.http://www.wl500g.info/attachment.php?attachmentid=5047&d=1246887100

Yet microdc2 has a few limitations: can download only from one DC-client at time,
can connect to only one DC hub at time,
can't connect to DC hub by host name, only by ip-address.
It fits better to seeding files, and less for searching and downloading.

thank you very much for your response. I use the client only from time to time to download a movie quick or something. I have an 50.000 user network (i get around 1000 users from my network in an dc++ hub) and i can download something quick. So it means hat microdc2 it is enough for me. Thank you very much for your help !
