opkg → apk
Since OpenWRT 25.12.0, **apk** *(Alpine Package Keeper)* is the new package manager; the oldier `opkg` is no longer maintened! See the relative page: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/opkg-to-apk-cheatsheet to the official transition.
Description
OpenWRT has a native tool to manage package: opkg.
But, by default, there are not plan to upgrade easily all packages, even upgrade option exists.
This is the tips:
# for name in `opkg list-upgradable | awk '{print $1}'`; do opkg upgrade "${name}"; done
Or, if you you have created a user who has the right to use the sudo
command:
$ for name in `sudo opkg list-upgradable | awk '{print $1}'`; do sudo opkg upgrade "${name}"; done
