[How-To] add "renewed firmware" repository

[ryzhov_al]

There is small software repository, which may be useful for you:

• shakespeer - a DC-client,
• USB/IP - for sharing USB-devices,
• tmux - a terminal windows manager,
• umurmur - a voice chat server,
• nano 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 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 !

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

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.

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 !
