Hi all, some fellow developers and me worked for some time now on making APK the new package manager for OpenWrt, replacing the unmaintained OPKG fork we've been using for the longest time.

APK is actively developed and used in multiple other distributions, e.g. Alpine Linux 🎉

While there is till some work ahead, I'd like to prepare everyone who maintains a package to verify that the PKG_VERSION follows Semantic Versioning <major>.<minor>.<fixup>[.<sub1>...]. APK uses a deterministic algorithm to compare versions and does not like random strings, except a valid hash prefixed with a ~.

If in doubt, please use the Docker container below to verify the used version is valid:

docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/aparcar/apk-valid-version <VERSION> [<VERSION> ...]

It will print whatever version is not valid, if you get a zero exit code, you're fine.

Please feel free to reach out for assistance and have a look at the core migration of versions.

Dear package maintainers,

There is no need to open individual pull requests for your packages, you are maintaining. That will be really time-consuming for you and for us. We will do it here exactly the same as it was done in the main repo via treewide commit.

@aparcar Just a heads up, most of my packages either:

  • depended on the old style of version/revision to be presented by the binary to be compatible with upstream-maintained products (client to a server or a peer in a mixed network for example)
  • contained dependencies on opkg and were incompatible with upcoming APK in the ways other than version/release number

I believe I have fixed most of those, but I may have to submit further PRs if needed.

Also, the https-dns-proxy should be fixed with the latest PR.

PS. If the PR needs to be made against packages/luci repo for reasons other than APK migration, should I refrain from moving to the new release syntax?

No final decision on this.

If 24.xx is NOT going to use APK by default, would the 24.xx building tools (toolchain, SDK, CI) still prepend r to the PKG_RELEASE?

@aparcar
In addition of versioning, there appears to be also dependency trouble.
Some packages depend explicitly on opkg, and building an actual firmware will fail if apk is selected. Apk also finds more conflicts that opkg.

I built yesterday an APK enabled firmware, and had to remove one package (openssh sftp server) due to the versioning reasons, like expected.
But then at image finalization I ran into conflicts with e.g. @dibdot popular 'adblock' which explicitly depends on opkg.
Similarly, some packages depend on uclient-fetch,, which apk finds to be in conflict with GNU wget, unlike opkg does.

@hnyman I'll remove the opkg dependency in adblock with the next minor update - thanks for heads up!

Edit: the opkg dependency has been removed in adblock-4.2.2 (see 34db79b)

These will be fixed all perl APK related problems as listed above.

How to fix nginx makefile?

EXTRA_DEPENDS:=nginx-ssl-util (>=1.5-1)

By removing the extra version comparison there.
@Ansuel probably thinks about better fix, but that should be enough for your own use.

(Not sure if actually just "1.5-r1" would be enough there, as old "1.5-1" is not accepted by apk)

I see a lot of package use this:

PKG_SOURCE:=$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.xz

Then PKG_VERSION must match upstream version, this breaks apk support if upstream version use other naming syntax. Do we have a solution for this?

Some examples of solutions, mainly involving extra variables in Makefile to differentiate PKG_VERSION and the name needed for upstream file (and possibly for compilation PKG_BUILD_DIR):

Yeah the description handling shout be fixed.

All packages in main/master should now be fixed for apk versioning.
In the last two weeks I have patched the last remaining dozen failing packages or so.

Buildbot doesn't currently show any apk related failures for main OpenWrt, LuCI, packages & telephony. (once the packages I patched just few minutes ago are built there next time)

In routing feed there is still PR openwrt/routing#1089 waiting for @aparcar @Ansuel or somebody else with rights to the routing feed repo.

I have backported my own commits to 24.10, but I suspect that some other packages are still failing there., as fixes have not been backported. (Note: Buildbot does not yet show failures there, as opkg is still currently the default in 24.10.)
