Can I use any opkg package from openWrt?

I would like to install logrotate from the openWrt repository. I get:

root@Pineapple:~# opkg install http://sokrates.mimuw.edu.pl/~sebek/openwrt/packages/logrotate_3.7.1-1_mipsel.ipk
Downloading http://sokrates.mimuw.edu.pl/~sebek/openwrt/packages/logrotate_3.7.1-1_mipsel.ipk.
Unknown package 'logrotate'.
Collected errors:
 * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for logrotate found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package logrotate.
root@Pineapple:~# uname -a
Linux Pineapple 3.3.8 #81 Mon Aug 3 19:40:39 PDT 2015 mips GNU/Linux

Do I need to compile logrotate just for this reason or is it easily possible to fool opkg about what architecture it runs on?

Eh, no. Not any.. It will have to be cross compiled. It needs to be the same architecture configuration

i have cross compiled version 3.8.1 ( not sure if you require the lower version, nor do i know if any is avail on the repos )

just after you download it, rename the .zip extension to .ipk. as the forum restrictions do not accept files with the .ipk externsion.

logrotate_3.8.1-1_ar71xx.zip

EDIT:

screw it, here's 3.9.1 and 3.7.1

logrotate_3.9.1-1_ar71xx.zip

logrotate_3.7.1-1_ar71xx.zip
