Why didn't the upgrade take over my OpenVPN packages? I had to install the packages openvpn and luci-app-openvpn manually, but the settings were still there, fortunately.
Will doing a “opkg upgrade” give the same effective result as flashing an updated stock/sysupgrade image?
Asking because it’s annoying remembering which packages I need to reinstall.
Being completely up to date always feels better :)
On a device with more nonvolatile storage, you can run more opkg updates and installs.
Alternatively, build and install your own images, if that's your thing. I've tried this, unsuccessfully to date.
