[Feature Request] luci-app-attendedsysupgrade: LOG of packages #6789

Open lars18th opened 10 months ago

Hi @aparcar ,

This is a request related/similar to #6312 but not the same. Here the PROBLEM:

When you use the "luci-app-attendedsysupgrade" a LOG the packages requested to be introduced in the firmware image aren't saved. Therefore you can't manually reproduce the firmware.

Another question:

If you want to get the firmware to upload it to other identical devices, then you can't. Because the downloaded image is not provided (a simple link will be sufficient; or an automatic download).

Therefore I suggest (if you agree), to generate a LOG file and store it in a preserved directory (i.e. "/etc/attendedsysupgrade/log/"). Futhermore, perhaps you can provide inside the interface a box to edit the list of the packages.

I hope you want to consider this. Regards.

auc -n in command line provides link to cached custom image.

Nice! But this is not executed when you use the LUCI app. So, I suggest to add this enhancement to the LUCI interface. And also to preserve the LOG.

Regards.

no idea what are you talking about.server side log?

Normal sys upgrade can stash a log of installed packages text file.

@aparcar is it possible to add download links for config backup/package list/image file download before hitting yes on attended sysupgrade?

With the current implementation of the LUCI interface you can only do: click&install. Nothing more. However, using the auc CLI tool you can do more. For example, you can obtain the link of the firmware; or you can see the list of packages inside the request, etc. The idea is to store all of this data inside a LOG file that will be preserved over the update. This will improve the update of two or three similar devices that we can have at home.
