It seems there's a lot more packages that have been pulled into that system (742 for feeds alone) even tho there's a common heritage, those have not been similarly pulled into buildroot and it's seems a bit duplicitous? Openwrt has a full on build of perl 5.10 for example, which appears to be a very hairy and non-trivial job to import as a buildroot project for example (but very desirable for me). On the other end of scale however many of those packages also appear to be old, insecure / known buggy versions. It would just be great for there to be some sort of import of those packages so at least they could be updated and used within the general buildroot system and not tailored just for the more narrow focused openwrt effort. I guess Im just wondering why there doesn't seem to be much overlap or cross project collaboration ? Thanks. Mike-
