A new package manager for OpenWrt

Post Syndicated from corbet original https://lwn.net/Articles/998446/

The OpenWrt router-oriented distribution has long used its own opk
package manager. The project has just announced,
though, that future releases will use the apk
package manager from Alpine Linux
instead. “This new package
manager offers a number of advantages over the older opkg system and is a
significant milestone in the development of the OpenWrt platform. The older
opkg package manager has been deprecated and is no longer part of
OpenWrt.
