Feed is a collection of packages which share a common location. Feeds may reside on a remote server, in a version control system, on the local filesystem, or in any other location addressable by a single name (path/URL) over a protocol with a supported feed method. Feeds are additional predefined package build recipes for OpenWrt Buildroot.

The list of usable feeds is configured from the feeds.conf file (or feeds.conf.default when feeds.conf does not exist).

Example of <builroot dir>/feeds.conf.default contains:

src-svn   packages  svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages
src-svn   xwrt      http://x-wrt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/package
src-git   luci      git://nbd.name/luci.git
src-git   routing   git://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages.git
src-git   telephony http://feeds.openwrt.nanl.de/openwrt/telephony.git
#src-svn  phone     svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/feeds/phone
#src-svn  efl       svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/feeds/efl
#src-svn  xorg      svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/feeds/xorg
#src-svn  desktop   svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/feeds/desktop
#src-svn  xfce      svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/feeds/xfce
#src-svn  lxde      svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/feeds/lxde
#src-link custom    /usr/src/openwrt/custom-feed

Normally there are two files in a typical package directory in OpenWrt :

• package/Makefile
• package/patches

The patches directory is optional and typically contains bug fixes or optimizations to reduce the size of the executable.

The package makefile is the important item because it provides the steps actually needed to download and compile the package.
