By the way, am I the only one who changes the distribution feeds to point to the latest snapshot versions from the lede website to get the absolutest latest versions of packages between releases of @david's builds?
src/gz reboot_core https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/targets/mvebu/generic/packages
src/gz reboot_base https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/base
src/gz reboot_luci https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/luci
src/gz reboot_packages https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/packages
src/gz reboot_routing https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/routing
src/gz reboot_telephony https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3/telephony
The very first link will only work for those on Kernel 4.9, but the remaining ones (the ones in the arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3 directory) will work for everyone.
First make sure you do
opkg flag hold base-files
so you don't have to accidentally worry about upgrading base-files which could mess things up.
Then simply
and
to see all the packages which can be upgraded.
To upgrade all of them in one go, simply type
opkg list-upgradable | awk -F ' - ' '{print $1}' | xargs opkg upgrade
This has never caused me any problems, and I always like to be on the absolutely latest versions, but of course do so at your own risk, minimal as it may be. If you did happen to upgrade a package and it caused you issues, you could always simply remove the troublesome package, change the distro feeds to point back to @david's website, and install the working version again.
