What you see right now in RC3 will be there in the final as well, it will just be split up into subdirectories and the unmaintained packages "oldpackages" need to be manually enabled in /etc/opkg.conf on your router before being installable using opkg. In RC3 they are still all together in one package repository.

There might be a few more packages in the final but what is in RC3 now (rsync is still running btw.) is a pretty good estimate of what will be there.


Cheers,

The current status of "oldpackages" is this:
If you are using trunk and want to use the possibly outdated packages you
have to enable the oldpackages feed and build them manually.
If you are using barrier breaker in the final version we will still build
these outdated packages in binary form but won't enable the package
repository in opkg.conf by default, so you have to manually opt-in to use
these packages. Some packages there might be broken due to changes in the
SDK but this will hopefully get addressed before the final release. The next
release after barrier breaker will not include any unmaintained packages at
all not even as opt-in.
So, are the precompiled packages on openwrt.org [1] indicative of what
will be available for the final release of BB?
 From there on ar71xx, nano was missing from RC1, but is back for RC2
[2] and RC3 [3].
Looking in the same folder [1] for the packages that Valent mentioned
in his second ticket, I also see bluez-libs [4], bluez-utils [5],
/i2c-tools [6], ntpclient [7], picocom [8] and python [9] as
precompiled packages.
Will those still be available in the final release?
