OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc1 introduced a major change: switching from opkg
to apk (Alpine Package Manager). This commit adds full support for
building both package formats based on the OpenWrt version.
**Package Build Workflow (.github/workflows/build-openwrt-packages.yml):**
- Added automatic version detection for package format
- 25.12+ and SNAPSHOT → .apk format
- 24.10 and earlier → .ipk format
- Updated feeds configuration to use correct branch (openwrt-25.12, openwrt-24.10, etc.)
- Modified artifact collection to handle both .apk and .ipk files
- Updated build summary to show package format
- Added PKG_EXT environment variable to track format across workflow steps
- Updated dependency download to handle both APKINDEX.tar.gz and Packages formats
- Skip dependency downloads for RC versions (repos may not be stable)
**Local Build Script (secubox-tools/local-build.sh):**
- Added package format detection based on OPENWRT_VERSION
- Updated feeds.conf generation to select correct branch dynamically
- Modified build_packages() to detect and build correct package format
- Updated collect_artifacts() to collect both .apk and .ipk files
- Updated SHA256SUMS generation for both formats
- Export PKG_EXT variable for use across functions
**Documentation:**
- CLAUDE.md: Added package format support details
- README.md: Updated compatibility table with package format column
- Added note explaining apk vs ipk distinction
**Key Changes:**
- Backwards compatible: existing workflows continue to work for .ipk
- Future-proof: ready for OpenWrt 25.12 stable release
- Automatic detection: no manual configuration needed
- Comprehensive: covers all build scenarios (GitHub Actions, local builds)
Tested scenarios:
- OpenWrt 24.10.5 → builds .ipk ✅
- OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc1 → builds .apk ✅
- SNAPSHOT → builds .apk ✅🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
