<p dir="ltr">Great post, Paul. Looks like nginx is indeed the better option in terms of performance and stability. Though, going through your links, I noticed this: "Lighttpd has had support for IPv6 for a long time. IPv6 support for nginx isĀ <a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.nginx.english/9979/focus=9989">in the </a>works".</p>
<p dir="ltr">I suppose the devs might have a better answer to provide.</p>

I installed CeroWrt two days ago and have noticed that some packages are missing from its repository. Specifically, nginx, rtorrent, tmux, and screen are in the official OpenWrt trunk repository for ar71xx ( <a href="http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/" target="_blank">http://downloads.openwrt.org/<u></u>snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/<u></u>packages/</a> ), but not in the CeroWrt repository. Why is this?<br>
<br>
Is it possible for me to list multiple repositories in /etc/opkg.conf, and somehow specify their priority? Then I could set it to prefer packages from the CeroWrt repository, but still have access to packages that are only in the official OpenWrt repository. The opkg page on the OpenWrt Wiki ( <a href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg?s[]=etc&s[]=opkg&s[]=conf#configuration" target="_blank">http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/<u></u>techref/opkg?s[]=etc&s[]=opkg&<u></u>s[]=conf#configuration</a> ) doesn't make it clear if this kind of setup is possible.<br>
<br>
Speaking of nginx, I've read that it uses less CPU and RAM than lighttpd and is more actively developed, so I'm curious why CeroWrt's developers chose lighttpd instead. Does nginx have a problem or a lack of needed functionality, or was it not considered?<br>

CeroWrt is a great project and I appreciate the work its developers do. Thank you!<br>
