All:
I am running into issues trying to build Entware tools. I have all the build dependancies satisfied except for python 2.7, which is no longer available in the current repository.
I have Entware installed and working. That's not the issue. The issue is I'm trying to build my own package, which requires Entware tools. Entware tools has a long list of dependancies, which I have satisfied except for python 2.7. Python3 is also a dependency, which is available in the current repository and I was able to successfully install to satisfy that dependency of Entware tools. However, Entware tools still requires python 2.7 to be installed. If you look at the archive directory of the same repository, you'll see that is where I procured the python 2.7 package. I don't get why it would be incompatible or why Entware tools would require it after removing it from the current repository.
Yes... That's exactly what I'm trying to do. Although, I'm using the more current Entware reference apposed to the archived Entware-ng one you provided.
I need to find an Entware guru whom I'm sure could quickly set me on the right path to install python 2.7. However, Entware doesn't have a centralized forum and instead references the many replacement router firmware forums out there.

yep it ironic and it happens even on linux distros too..
* pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for python found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package python.
