Dear forum!

i stored my custom_package on local harddisk, edited the feeds.conf.default and renamed it to feeds.conf
src-cpy oscam /hdd/openwrt/my_pkg

I can use ./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds install -a
My source is copied as ecxpected to the feeds folder. i can see that the Makefile is ther in
/hdd/openwrt/cc/feeds/mypkgname

but it isnt shown in make menuconfig. If i copy it into ./feeds/packages then it works.
What am i missing here.

Thanks!

The package installation system is sometimes picky in noticing new packages from feeds, especially is the packages has already been present in another feed (and has been "installed" from there).

There might e.g. be a leftover symlink in ./package/feeds/packages to the old location (the attempt to have it in the packages feeds dir). Check for that. Menuconfig might find that empty link first and then not look for your new oscam feed at all. Those symlinks in package/feeds are sneaky.

You might also try to create the downloaded feeds from scratch. (delete all from ./package/feeds and ./feeds )

Blazing fast reply, thank you.
That worked!

The discussion might have continued from here.
