[384.12_Alpha - builds] Testing all variants.

[Swistheater]

How?

self compiled and merged on a VM.

I thought I had seen compiling instructions somewhere. Can you share how you went about doing this?

Thank you!

I follow this (my first try to compile):

you have instruction here:

Compiled and upgraded to Alpha 2, works great. Just 1 question, when cloning git and compiling, does it include all the latest commits ? for example , there are 3 more commits above (new) the commit which states 'bumped to alpha 2' , are they also included if they were available when I did git clone and compiled the build?

they are not included yet in the Mainline branch, the branch master has not yet been merged. The Ac86 is build on the mainline, not the master

I do every step all the way down to the part where I copy and paste my build into the terminal.



note you want to add one extra line to

cd
if [ ! -d asuswrt-merlin.ng ]; then
  git clone https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng
  cd asuswrt-merlin.ng
#  git checkout master
 git checkout mainline
 git merge master
else
  cd asuswrt-merlin.ng
#  git checkout master
  git checkout mainline
  git merge master
  git pull
fi

this is the image of ubuntu you want to use with your VM
ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

that is what these instructions are most successful with .. there are other ubuntu versions that can use different instructions, so follow this to the letter.

 

[EmeraldDeer]

I can confirm that the /jffs/scripts/wan-start eth0 accept_ra workaround for IPv6 gateway is no longer needed at firmware level 384.12_alpha1-g49e6d4d687

- FIXED: IPv6 on RT-AX88U - backported accept_ra fix
         from 45717 (themiron)

 

[rk8531]

just migrated to 384.12 from 384.11_2 with a clean upgrade on my RT-86U. I am facing an issue with entware installation. I am getting the following error- "entware (aarch64) install failed". I was trying to install diversion 64bit version and is getting the same error repeatedly. I am not running any other script besides amtm and have rebooted the router several times. I have even formatted the router thrice and has even tried installing entware directly from the amtm terminal instead of routing it via diversion. Is it a known bug with Alpha build? Kindly help

Have you tried the 32bit version? The 86U isn't actually fully arch64, it's sort of a hybrid.

 

[rk8531]

But earlier i was using aarch64 and it was working.

Just tried 32 bit version too and its installtion is also failing. i guess amtm v2.3 is the culprit.

 

[rk8531]

is there any way to install amtm v2.2 instead of 2.3?

Move this post to the AMTM thread.

ok

 

[maxbraketorque]

Official alpha2 seems to be out.

 

[Gar]

Yup, 4 hours ago. If I'm not mistaken it doesn't include the most recent security updates though. Not yet.

I'm pretty sure they are included, since the commit is not yet commited on github . @6a46c21

 

[scjr]

Smooth update to alpha2.

 

[Treadler]

Alpha 2 on AX88U, both IPv6 & curl appear to be operating well.
