fping requires either root or CAP_NET_PING to work, otherwise it is useless. Use INSTALL_SUID so that fping will be setuid root, and thus it will be usable by non-root users. fping knows to drop root priviledges after it parses the command line and creates the ping socket. You actually get a lot less code running as root when you make it setuid root and run it from an unprivileged user. This is the same way net/iputils already handles "ping", which has the same requirements. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <henrique@nic.br>
OpenWrt packages feed
Description
This is the OpenWrt "packages"-feed containing community-maintained build scripts, options and patches for applications, modules and libraries used within OpenWrt.
Installation of pre-built packages is handled directly by the opkg utility within your running OpenWrt system or by using the OpenWrt SDK on a build system.
Usage
This repository is intended to be layered on-top of an OpenWrt buildroot. If you do not have an OpenWrt buildroot installed, see the documentation at: OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation on the OpenWrt support site.
This feed is enabled by default. To install all its package definitions, run:
./scripts/feeds update packages
./scripts/feeds install -a -p packages
