dwfreed: but isn't a stable kernel a stable environment?
<dwfreed>
yes, but it's only supported until the next stable releases
<dwfreed>
if there's a bug found that would affect a stable kernel that's EOL, the fix will not be ported to that kernel by upstream
goliath has joined #openwrt-devel
<robodogspok>
would be possible to just update newer stable kernel between .point releases? Or there just too much work involved with testing?
<dwfreed>
too much work
<robodogspok>
is there regularly breaking things in between stable mainland kernels?

APIs get constantly updated/changed, so any driver (changes) in OpenWrt will potentially need to be updated/adapted to the changed APIs
cp- has joined #openwrt-devel
<KanjiMonster>
and these updates tend to be non-trivial
<robodogspok>
In stable kernels? Did Torvalds say don't break APIs and userland?
<KanjiMonster>
only userland
<robodogspok>
okay

<KanjiMonster>
for kernel land it's "we don't care about out-of-tree"
<KanjiMonster>
and that can include dropping APIs or features that are only used by out of tree drivers

slh if you're interested here's my download script (with current params for my hw)... it would be quite easy I think to generate params automatically from the TOH. https://0x0.st/H4nC.sh
<dermoth>
if you think of using/redistributing it i'll be happy to add better error reporting, check/dryrun modes, etc... All that's required is bash and rsync, md5sum for checking (I guess there's newer checksum slgos now, I probably haven't touched that part in years)
<dermoth>
oh I guess I have been using that script for much longer actually, even my lolder version doesn'T have md5sums, and I've been lazy, not checking if i'm actually checking anythiong!
<dermoth>
well oldest version of the script I have traces of gets backfire/10.03.1/brcm-2.4 :)
<dermoth>
oh and find for checking, but could rewrite this in pure bash.... Even if I can script it with find tests only find doesn't allow me to return non-zero based on those tests :(
<dermoth>
slh updated one - https://0x0.st/H45p.sh - removed packages check (there's been no checksum file for ages apparently but I could write functions to validate from ipkg metadata) and added check for sha1sums and sha256sums (only the later is present in the oldest mirrors I kept)
<dermoth>
that's fine for myself but if you think it could be worth redistributing it I'm happy to work further on it

Hi there! I want to thank you all for your support on the last few weeks of feedback/suggestions/ideas on how to build an OpenWrt image for an un-supported device. I've decided to post an article about the reasoning behind it, and how OpenWrt helped me to bring new life to old hardware. https://blog.nafiux.com/posts/cnpilot_r190w_openwrt_bufferbloat_fqcodel_cake/
