Assuming the following dns zone configuration for kresin.me: . 1800 IN NS ns.inwx.de. home.kresin.me. 1800 IN NS gw.home.kresin.me. gw.home.kresin.me. 60 IN A 198.51.100.1 Using the example, gw.home.kresin.me is a glue record and used as DDNS record as well. gw.home.kresin.me points to the OpenWrt installation where the ddns-scripts are running. Since ns.inwx.de isn't the authoritative server for home.kresin.me, a query for the the A record of gw.home.kresin.me will be "forwarded" to and replied by the authoritative server 198.51.100.1. If the authoritative server can't be reached, the query times out without any address returned. The only way to get the A record of the glue record is to use bind host in verbose output mode, query ns.inwx.de for gw.home.kresin.me and evaluate the additional section of the response. To my knowledge, only bind host in verbose output mode shows the additional section of the response. Therefore, this features depends on bind host. It is not possible to use the bind host verbose mode for all queries. In verbose mode the "has address" line isn't returned. Grepping for the hostname might fail if the hostname is CNAME. Grepping for the first occurrence of an ip-address is way to error prone, since it could return the ip address of a different record type. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin <dev@kresin.me>
OpenWrt packages feed
Description
This is the OpenWrt "packages"-feed containing community-maintained build scripts, options and patches for applications, modules and libraries used within OpenWrt.
Installation of pre-built packages is handled directly by the opkg utility within your running OpenWrt system or by using the OpenWrt SDK on a build system.
Usage
This repository is intended to be layered on-top of an OpenWrt buildroot. If you do not have an OpenWrt buildroot installed, see the documentation at: OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation on the OpenWrt support site.
This feed is enabled by default. To install all its package definitions, run:
./scripts/feeds update packages
./scripts/feeds install -a -p packages
