Request to make new apk packages available

[sppmasterspp]

With this commit https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=40b8fbaa9754c86480eefc3692c9116a51a64718
apk was set as default package manager for OpenWrt main snapshot builds.
We need new apk packages to replace the old ipk ones.

Thanks a lot!
Any short "How to" so we can add APK repository, needed keys, etc. to the OpenWrt devices.
Like this one for example.

echo 'https://apk.openwrt.melmac.net/packages.adb' > /etc/apk/repositories.d/apk.openwrt.melmac.net.list
wget https://apk.openwrt.melmac.net/apk.openwrt.melmac.net.pem -O /etc/apk/keys/apk.openwrt.melmac.net.pem
apk update

Otherwise apk --allow-untrusted add would be necessary.

You just need to install fantastic-keyring and fantastic-packages-feeds
But fantastic-packages-feeds currently does not support apk.
You need to manually add the following to /etc/apk/repositories.d/customfeeds.list

https://fantastic-packages.github.io/packages/releases/SNAPSHOT/packages/x86_64/luci/packages.adb
https://fantastic-packages.github.io/packages/releases/SNAPSHOT/packages/x86_64/packages/packages.adb
https://fantastic-packages.github.io/packages/releases/SNAPSHOT/packages/x86_64/special/packages.adb

x86_64 needs to be replaced with the architecture of your device.

I did this but unfortunately it gives an error - UNTRUSTED signature.

fetch https://fantastic-packages.github.io/packages/releases/SNAPSHOT/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/luci/packages.adb
WARNING: updating and opening https://fantastic-packages.github.io/packages/releases/SNAPSHOT/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/luci/packages.adb: UNTRUSTED signature

As a result packages are not found and cannot be added.
So without a .PEM key I guess it's not going to work.
One can still use apk --allow-untrusted add from terminal but that is not so convenient for most of the people.

So you need to install fantastic-keyring manually, which contains the necessary pem key.

In addition if you are installing the key manually, 20241123170031.pub will be what you need.

I installed it manually and the feeds were there but they disappeared after firmware update. Should I do this after every firmware update?

@sppmasterspp yes
