I downloaded Kamikaze 8.09 using

svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/8.09 ~/svn/kamikaze-8.09
svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages/ ~/svn/packages

to ubuntu (8.04). Then, i tried to include openvpn

ln -s ~/svn/packages/net/openvpn ~/svn/kamikaze-8.09/package

After this,

cd ~/svn/kamikaze-8.09
make menuconfig

does not show openvpn. What am i missing?

Thank you for any hint

Wolfgang

$ cd ~/
$ svn checkout svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/8.09/ ~/8.09/
$ cd ~/8.09/

$ ./scripts/feeds update packages luci
$ ./scripts/feeds install -a -p luci
$ ./scripts/feeds install openvpn

$ rm -rf .config*

$ make menuconfig

- Target System: xxx
- Target Profile: xxx

- Network
  - VPN
    - openvpn: Y

$ make world

Thank you for that hint. It does work.

There remains one question: As i understand, the packages i loaded with the command

svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages/ ~/svn/packages

and the packages residing in

feeds/packages

are two different sources of packages. Is there a reason for this?

And a second question: If using ln -s ... does not work, then something should be broken in my installation. But maybe this is an academic question since your advice works.
