FFP as zypkg

= What it is = The fonz fun_plug is a collection of applications compiled and packaged by fonz, and many (third party) packages are available, including ssh(d), lighttpd, rsync(d), buildtools, editors], midnight commander, transmission, nzbget, openvpn and many more.

= Install = In addition to the FFP-stick, it's also possible to install FFP using the build-in package manager. Use MetaRepository to install it.

= Trouble shooting =

Extension
The web_prefix file should have exactly that name. No capitals, no extension. In Windows an extension like .txt might be hidden. When there is some default program (like notepad) attached to the file, it *has* an extension!

DNS
When web_prefix doesn't seem to work, it might be a DNS issue. If you can't open ftp://ftp.zyxel-tech.de/2.new_mirror/ in an ftp client or web browser, when in the same network as the NAS, your DNS may fail. In that case you can try to put a static DNS in your network (router) or your NAS. 8.8.8.8 (Google) is a good one. If you think Google knows already enough of you, you can try OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)

Low level
Sometimes it just doesn't work. In that case you can try to login over telnet, and inject the web_prefix a level deeper. echo ftp://ftp.zyxel-tech.de/2.new_mirror//4.40/zypkg/ >>/etc/package_src_url where you have to exchange  by your nas type. Have a look at the ftp server if you want to know which types are available. BTW, this is volatile. After a reboot you'll have to re-apply this, if you want to re-use the 'retrieve list form internet' button.

Manual
You can also copy just everything from ftp://ftp.zyxel-tech.de/2.new_mirror//4.40/zypkg/ to \\\admin\zy-pkgs\

Post install
When ffp is installed, it should have created a logfile in \\ \admin\zy-pkgs\ffp\. On my NSA325 the first logfile looks like this: Rotating logfiles... Try to determine NAS type... according to /zyxel/mnt/info/modelid: AA03->NSA325 type NSA325, fw NSA325_4.50(AAAJ.0) Starting /usr/local/zy-pkgs/ffproot/after_booting.sh version 20120924 at Sat Oct 20 23:41:05 GMT 2012...

= Release notes =

zypkg 6, 2017-11-26

 * Added support for the NAS326. (MrDini found the bug which was keeping the zypkg from running on a '326)
 * Added desktop icons for fw5.20+
 * Added hardware recognition for the NAS542

zypkg 5, 2015-09-19

 * Added support for the NAS540&NAS520.

zypkg 4, 2013-11-24

 * The FFP tarball is now embedded in the zypkg. This discharges ffp.inreto.de (at expense of ZyXEL), and gives the opportunity to offer an FFP version which is adapted for a ZyXEL nas. Further the 'installing progress counter' in the packages menu behaves more intuitively
 * Added hardware recognition for the NSA325v2.

zypkg 3, 2012-10-20

 * In addition to the root shell, now also the admin shell is changed to /ffp/bin/sh for unchrooted installations.
 * The postrm script now detects an upgrade, and is supposed to keep the old contents.
 * A bug in the webinterface solved.
 * Solved a small bug in the script logging, which caused some litter in /tmp/
 * Patched this bug in FFP 0.7. The patch will only be supplied on a fresh install of FFP.

zypkg 2, 2012-09-04

 * Instead of hijacking /etc/profile, now the root shell is changed in /etc/passwd for unchrooted installation. This should solve this issue.
 * User 'user' is removed (for chrooted installations). It seems nobody uses it, and at least one person has had an intruder on that account.
 * Added some clean 'disable' functionality for the zypkg version.
 * Cleaned up the logfile, as some messages were read as errors by users.
 * Cleaned up unneeded directories for unchrooted installations. after_booting.sh will create them when needed.
 * Added an /etc/mtab symlink, df and others needed that
 * When /ffp/etc/ffp.version fails, /ffp/etc/ffp_version is used for chroot/no chroot decisions.
 * Added a webinterface (no thrills, just some basic information/instructions)

zypkg 1, 2012-08-24

 * Initial release.
