wget update

[duvik]

How could wget be updated? Automatically or manually?

Manually the up-to-date file could be downloaded from

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...2-2_mipsel.ipk

but this is compressed file wget_1.12-2_mipsel.gz. How could this file be installed? If I extract it with

tar xfvz wget_1.12-2_mipsel.gz

three new files appear: data.tar.gz, control.tar.gz, debian-binary. No ipk.

I need it for the installation of optware-devel which has the problem with downloading the libidn.so.11 library.

^The Link is already the ipk just use ipkg install

Btw we don't recommend compiling on the router itself anymore.

As you posted in Wl500gP Sektion, I assume you have that device. Then you could give Entware a try and crosscompile your software via the Entware/Openwrt buildroot.
(the new repo contains wget 1.13.4 )

check out the wiki there

Yes, the link seems to be directly the ipk but if you click on it the file with extension .gz shows up (wget_1.12-2_mipsel.gz).
I have Asus Wl-500gp with Oleg firmware 1.9.2.7-10. I am not sure if wget 1.13.4 is compatible with this firmware. I would like to keep this firmware if possible because of a possible incompatibility and reinstalling the packages.
The compilation in the router is easier for me since I am a beginner. I already installed several packages quite without big problems.
I assume that the installation from. gz files is quite easy for Linux users but I have not clue how to do it and I have not found a manual for it yet.

this:

wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/wget_1.12-2_mipsel.ipk
ipkg install wget_1.12-2_mipsel.ipk

doesn't work? (do this via ssh on the Premium)

sure, ipk's are just tarballs - but no need to untar them, the packet manager (ipkg) does this on his own

btw. as wget is in the optware repo, you can just do a

ipkg install wget

There is something wrong:

[admin@AP2 root]$ ipkg install wget

we see you have wget-ssl already running and this seems to be corrupt because of missing libidn.... (that's causing all downloads to fail)
you have to remove wget-ssl to get ipgk working again

ipkg remove wget-ssl
ipkg update
ipkg install libidn

if libidn installation succeeds, you can go on installing wget-ssl again... if not ....

optware is a pain - unreliable, outdated
