A new package manager for OpenWrt

The OpenWrt router-oriented distribution has long used its own opkgpackage manager. The project has just announced,though, that future releases will use the apkpackage manager from Alpine Linux instead. "This new packagemanager offers a number of advantages over the older opkg system and is asignificant milestone in the development of the OpenWrt platform. The olderopkg package manager has been deprecated and is no longer part ofOpenWrt." There is some more information on thispage.
