DebWrt Debian Packages

Introduction

For newer releases of DebWrt, the Debian packages are stored in a central DebWrt Debian package repository. Even though the root filesystem images provided by DebWrt will include most or all of the DebWrt packages, using a central repository allows a much easier update/upgrade path.

Note: some DebWrt packages available in older release have been depricated; those are not available in the DebWrt debian packages repository. Mostly because Debian has the package now available in their repositories.
