jow: can you give me your thoughts on the AUTORELEASE feature? Do you think it's entirely broken?
<aparcar[m]>
I'm thinking of changing the logic to use PKG_VERSION changes instead of looking for commit subjects containing "bump to / update to"
<aparcar[m]>
but it all takes CPU time to juggle around Git, maybe the entire approach is just broken? Instead the CI could just warn users to fix their PKG_RELEASE
<aparcar[m]>
then all logic would be in the CI and AUTORELEASE would be obsolete again

aparcar[m]: I'd strongly favor a CI-driven solution that warns maintainers
<jow>
aparcar[m]: inherent problem with AUTORELEASE is the fact that it needs an accompanying Git history
<jow>
build such an (unmodified) Makefile against another tree or non-Git source tree and you get completely different results
<jow>
also non-Makefile changes to packages cannot be judged by visiting (contents or modification times of) Makefiles alone
<jow>
which also requires downstream tooling to have a complete Git history available
<aparcar[m]>
so CI shouldn't fail in case PKG_RELEASE isn't changed but a warning should happen?
<jow>
and finally the reliance on properly formatted Git commit subjects
<jow>
yeah, a strong warning
<jow>
a rough past definition was that PKG_RELEASE should only be bumped on functional changes
<jow>
fixing whitespace or a typo in a Makefile wouldn't qualify for a bump
<jow>
fixes to init scripts, modified compile flags etc. would
<aparcar[m]>
but the point still exists that Git is required.
<aparcar[m]>
if the typo results in a different binary (e.g. the description changed) it should change the release since both package artifacts are different, even if it's just the accompanying metadata

hmmm so on the EAP615 the wifi radio is DBDC, and there is only a single MAC address in the device flash. I couldn't use offset in the DTS because that would cause conflicts between my 2 APs, but now I have 2.4 and 5 GHz networks on the same AP with the same BSSID, so 802.11v transition request doesn't work properly. do we have some mechanism already to avoid duplicate BSSID like this?

guess I'll have to use macaddr_add in target/linux/ramips/mt7621/base-files/etc/hotplug.d/ieee80211/10_fix_wifi_mac
<stintel>
anyone with an EAP615 running stock to confirm that's how it works?
<stintel>
would be nice though if this could be handled in the driver, albeit with a flag in the dts

I guess the problem is that using nvmem-cells on mt76 dbdc radio bypasses the logic to not have overlapping MAC adresses :/
