[04:26] <db90h> who was it who wanted the linux port of wrt_vx_imgtool?
[11:34] <[mbm]> nbd: we really should talk about the plans for rc6
[11:34] <nbd> yeah
[11:35] <[mbm]> one thing I want to do is toss out the wan/lan config pages from webif and just make a generic page for interfaces
[11:36] <[mbm]> giving the option of more than just lan/wan/wifi
[11:37] <[mbm]> we still need to do something about cleaning up webif's firewall page
[11:37] <[mbm]> seems to be the source of much @openwrt discussion
[11:38] <nbd> yes
[11:39] <[mbm]> and there's still the issue of spending tons of time cleaning up webif
[11:39] <nbd> i think we should do that for 1.0
[11:39] <[mbm]> we've got old patches that we haven't commited because webif is obsolete
[11:39] <[mbm]> and yet we're still pushing out releases with the old webif
[11:40] <[mbm]> and not doing any sort of cleanup
[11:40] <nbd> i think we need to get 0.9 out fast an then focus on the new stuff
[11:40] <nbd> unfortunately i haven't had that much time lately
[11:40] <[mbm]> what's the status of the new config backend anyways?
[11:40] <nbd> still working on the network part
[11:41] <nbd> it's not complicated, i just didn't finish it yet
[11:41] <nbd> i have some code for manipulating the config files from shell/awk
[11:41] <[mbm]> any timeline on that?
[11:41] <nbd> no
[11:41] <[mbm]> :/
[11:41] <nbd> if i could predict my available time, i could probably give you one...
[11:41] <nbd> but i can't
[11:41] <[mbm]> I'm just trying to figure out if it'll be anothe 6 months before that gets done
[11:41] <nbd> no
[11:42] <nbd> it won't
[11:42] <nbd> i think we should try to get 0.9 done in a week or so
[11:42] <[mbm]> is there at least a clear outline of what needs to be done so others can help?
[11:43] <nbd> no. i will try to make one soon
[11:43] <[mbm]> hrm :(
[11:45] <[mbm]> maybe this weekend we can discuss exactly why (again) rc6 hasn't been released and set a better timeline for it
[11:46] <[mbm]> because it really should have been out long ago, just that nobody seems to be interested in working on it
[11:46] <nbd> yeah
[11:46] Action: [mbm] would love to lock all the developers in a room and get everyone workong on a single release
[11:47] <nbd> we should have something like virtual hackathons :)
[11:48] <[mbm]> yeah, I had mentioned the same thing to kaloz earlier
[13:53] <nbd> .
