3 years ago I think you should talk to @dangowrt since he picked the feed into 19.07 branch.
I would like to push all stuff to luci and packages feed (except all that uci default stuff).
I will rewrite all the apps in javascript, soon. If I do this I would prefer to push that in luci, since we will benefit from other more expeirenced luci devs, more feedback and treewirde luci changes.

3 years ago Another option is to reactivate this openwrt-packages, and mainatain the needed packages here. I think we are not enough to maintain our own packages-feed-build-infrastructure. For now @Akira25 maintains it, but what will happen if he will go?

3 years ago Just in case if you want to remove it. I've no opinion if you should or not. It might be a good idea to do it before the release of openwrt 21.02 so it can be also removed from the release.

They have their own build system and feeds.conf file. They don't use openwrt's feeds.conf. https://github.com/weimarnetz/firmware/blob/brauhaus-19.07/feeds.conf

We might have a discussion on that later on (in another issue). At the moment, I'm in favour of dropping the packagefeed from openwrt:
IMO, we should modernise this and drop the package feed.

3 years ago Yes, freifunk-gluon creates their own feeds.conf file too

3 years ago I have created two PR's to remove the feed from OpenWrt's master and openwrt-21.02 branches.
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3900 https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3901

3 years ago PR https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3901 has been closed so that the focus of the conversion happens in the PR for the master branch.

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/ff6b36b9548bbb869c2f5a5ffc0e415e25bc857e
These two commits have removed the repo from the default openwrt feeds. Any projects which want to include it should add the feeds manually to their feeds.conf files.

3 years ago a) it is an external project and the OpenWrt team does not have access to it.
Arrgh, don't put that into people's heads that freifunk is an external project. xP
As a result of the disinterest in the community as shown in pr #34, and the overall lack of movement in this repo, I would suggest that this feed be removed from the main OpenWrt feed list.
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/17fa01bb79be12a08f8f7a0beb7f0d73618a6193/feeds.conf.default#L5
As it seems like the only project which uses this feed currently is freifunk-berlin, which has it's own make system and feeds list, I don't see this as a problem. If I am mistaken and other projects are dependent on this feed, please comment below.
I would submit a PR with OpenWrt sometime at the beginning of March 2021.
