Topics

Please always note your name next to your topic

• [ 👤 Grische] what are the next steps/blockers to get Batman V support merged? (#3736)
  • Drop RFC tag
  • No blockers, just waiting for review
• Discussion about the switch to openwrt-25.12 (#3757)
  • Meeting came to the conclusion that regarding the basic_rate downstream patches:
    • we want to maintain backwards compatibility for at least 2 releases to allow communities to skip one release while updating
    • we should stretch this soft breaking change out over a few releases to give communities some leeway to handle this
    • implementing the backwards compatible change now would immediately break WiFi mesh backwards compatibility with releases v2023.2.x and older
    • new compatibility matrix
• Improving OpenWrt build error reporting
  • Always enable BUILD_LOG
  • Make error messages for device build failures more visible (usually image too big)
  • Automatically reference and tail actual error from BUILD_LOG directory after a failed build
• [ 👤 T_X]: gluon-core: fix htmode on devices with channel widths < site ch-width
  • regression in Gluon v2025.1.1 when setting an 80 or 160MHz channel bandwidth in the site.conf
    • 5GHz wireless interfaces won't be created on devices not supporting that exact channel bandwidth
    • WiP, review pending
• [ 👤 T_X]: docs: sort supported devices by supported Wi-Fi standard
  • ideally Javascript sortable tables in readthedocs, with more parameters
  • also: OpenWrt ToH should track Gluon support per/on device pages, but it's not selectable via / visible in https://toh.openwrt.org/ -> maybe such columns could be added there?
  • further discussions: having more machine readable device informatoin, like flash size etc. in Gluon to be able use that information in the build process
