When I edited the development page on the website I didn't think about the drawbacks (at that time the reason was that we needed a commit which was not included yet in any tag). The binary repositories are available only for tagged releases, that's why you cannot find the packages using OPKG. I just edited the webpage (just changed one line) indicating the tag: [2]. So that now the command for downloading the OpenWrt code is: git clone -b v18.06.8 --single-branch https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git Maybe you can use the same directory you were using, after some clean and dirclean, but it's better if you just download again in a clean way. Sorry for the mess. Ciao, Ilario PS in the same way, if you want to compile on top of OpenWrt 19.07, just replace v18.06.8 with v19.07.3 [1] https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=tags [2] https://libremesh.org/development.html#compiling_libremesh_from_source_code
