If you’re running noaacap to send severe weather alerts via APRS, there is a mandatory update available. The zone parsing code has been completely redone to address some issues discovered after the recent protocol update by NOAA.
The current version of noaacap is 1.4.0 and is available here.

In an effort to make it easier to install ampr-ripd on an OpenWRT system, I’ve revisited my packaging code and published it to github. Along with the OpenWRT SDK you ought to be able to generate an ampr-ripd package for any current OpenWRT platform.
ampr-ripd is a modified RIP listener written by YO2LOJ. It is used by licensed amateur radio operators who have received a Net44 allocation from ARDC.
The high-level workflow is:
Install the SDK for the target platform on the host of your choice.
Copy the contents of the repository to ./packages/ampr-ripd/.
make package/ampr-ripd/prepare
make package/ampr-ripd/{clean,compile}
The resultant ampr-ripd_{your architecture}.ipk will be found in ./bin/packages/{your architecture}/base/.
