Installing Addon Packages⚓︎
Packages that are not yet integrated into Freetz can be installed as
so-called addon packages. Download the desired package before
creating the image and unpack it into ./addon. The following example
assumes that you are in the unpacked Freetz directory:
After that, add the package to ./addon/static.pkg on a new line. In
the example above, that entry would be addon-paket-0.1. Addon packages
are started after the integrated packages, in the order in which they
appear in ./addon/static.pkg.
Note: if the addon package is another version of a package that is
already integrated, disable the original package in make menuconfig
under Package selection to avoid version conflicts.

Files matching addon/*.pkg can be used for activation. This has the
advantage that the .pkg file can be included in the addon archive, so
other addons are not disabled.
It also makes updates easier to distribute when the version number is not
part of the .pkg filename.
Example with two addons:
- Directory addon/ding-v1/, file addon/ding.pkg containing ding-v1
- Directory addon/dong-v1/, file addon/dong.pkg containing dong-v1
Updating one addon:
- Directory addon/ding-v2/, file addon/ding.pkg containing ding-v2
This automatically disables the old addon version and activates the new one.
