Hello all.
<Svanto24>
I'm currently trying to flash something via tftp... I was under the impression that this was done via the RJ45 console cable but now that I think about it this seems a bit silly, am I supposed to use ethernet for this in addition to the serial cable?
<SwedeMike>
yes, tftp is over ethernet

<Svanto24>
understood. Should've hit me sooner that data transfer over serial would take months

SwedeMike: Thanks!

Other than that I contacted sfconservancy because Huawei uses a bastardised version of Busybox they're clearly not providing the source too
nixuser has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<Svanto24>
let's see if that does anything
nixuser has joined #openwrt-devel
<Habbie>
not sure how useful a busybox source is though
<Svanto24>
Well, that's just one component I'm 100% sure sfconservancy represents...
<Svanto24>
I basically told then "hey, huawei is stonewalling me on source code and you might be interested in knowing they use a bastardised unreleased fork of busybox"
<Svanto24>
What I hoping will happen is what seems to happen happens everytime someone requests huawei source code. They have some GPL representing org knock on Huawei's door and Huawei will go "oh we just forgot to reply we are currently processing the source for release".
<Habbie>
yeah, makes sense
<Svanto24>
In any event it annoys me to see open source software bastardised into a walled garden and the source code being withheld. I guess "cuckold licenses" like BSD allow one to do that but Busybox is under GPL, not BSD.

this is a little weird, i'm git fetching blogic's remote from git://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/staging/blogic.git and i seem to be sucking down a GB of objects
<russell-->
or maybe two
<dwfreed>
he has some really old branches, are you fetching all or something?
<russell-->
i have fetched the github version of his staging before, just surprised at the volume
n3ph has joined #openwrt-devel
<dwfreed>
I can confirm the behavior, which seems to be caused by his old branches
<dwfreed>
which would apply if you're fetching the whole remote, vs pulling one branch
<dwfreed>
it took 1.26 GB of object downloads here
plappermaul has quit [Quit: Page closed]
<dwfreed>
the offending branch is probably mac80211-mbssid
<dwfreed>
and mac80211-staging
<dwfreed>
yeah, by several orders of magnitude
<dwfreed>
and the reason for that is both of those branches are based on kernel git history, not openwrt git history
