Next release 23.XX
- Plan to branch off end of March, lets see how it will work.
- Kernel 5.15 status: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/10672
- update the list in the ticket if there are problems
- Use CONFIG_TESTING_KERNEL=y to build testing kernel if 5.15 is not default.
- ramips: Make 5.15 default?
- https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/11255 - kernel panic on /sys/kernel/debug/ppe0/entries read fixed but several other issues reported in this PR, unclear if all are fixed
- ath25: 32MB of RAM = drop it?
- [ath25: add 5.15 testing kernel](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/10837)
- [ath25: mark as source-only](https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/patch/20230116121856.59740-1-robimarko@gmail.com/)
- if noone can test this target just drop it
- Paul will make it source-only and add it to the overview issue
- Toolchain upgrade: done
- OpenSSL 3.0 update?
- OpenSSL 1.1.1 is EoL 2023-09-11
- OpenSSL 3.0 is EoL 2026-09-07
- Hauke will send a mail and ask if someone is wokring on this
- The RISC-V target (sifiveu) should get merged
- mbedtls / wolfssl / openssl
- Maybe use hostapd + mbedtls as default instead of hostapd + wolfssl or make it depend on flash size
- Did someone do perfomance tests?
- Daniel will look into it and create a pull request
Battlemesh v15
- Event Date: [2023-05-08 Mon] to [2023-05-14 Sun]
- Location: Barcelona
- should have enought space to locate us in addition with ~10 people
- maybe one or tow days before or after battlemesh
- Daniel, Lynxis, Rafal, ynezz, pepe2k and Hauke are interested
Decision about future source code hosting and development platform
- ability to CI test and ideally merge contributions directly from the platform of choice
- OpenWrt project mirrors on GitLab.com stopped working roughly a month ago
- no compile/test/fuzz feedback on a bunch of C base core projects (libubox, uci, ubus etc.)
- mirror all reposetories from git.openwrt.org to github
- migrate CI stuff from gitlab to github
- see what else we want to do later
Remove ASU from default LuCI
- people complained that ASU is also in their custom images where ASU does not work
- remove it from the LucI dependencies and instead add it to release builds directly
- How do we prevent security problems in ASU?
- if someone has controll over the ASU server the attacker could create malicious images
- have multiple servers and let the client request the image from multiple services
Coverity is down
- It is running on lynxis jenkins server
- maybe migrate to github action
- lynxis will share his jenkins script
- ynezz is working on a github action for coverity
