lime: wpad-mini vs. wpad-mesh

[FreifunkUFO]

when using the 11s flavour, an other wpad* is needed. the needed package is added, but wpad-mini isnt needed anymore

[FreifunkUFO]

the extra package: https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles/blob/master/libremesh/encrypt-11s/PACKAGES

the imagebuilder will get from jefe:

does the lime-sdk/cooker behave the same way? it's possible to remove wpad-mini via Edit packages, tho it's not done automatically

[FreifunkUFO]

problem on jefe.tk: the additional packages are not shown to the user.

[aparcar]

yes, currently the packages are processed on the server side. I don't like that solution and will see if I can do something about it. however, a clean solution would be to auto remove the wpad-mini and this isn't supported for now with the PACKAGES concept

[aparcar]

this issue is out of scope for this project :(

[FreifunkUFO]

so what does it mean? problem is still existing. or do you want to delete libremesh as a supported "distribution"?

[aparcar]

@FreifunkUFO problem still exists but it's not a problem of chef. Using the official lime-sdk results in an image with both wpad-mesh and wpad-mini installed. The problem are thedependencies/flavors that should be solved within LibreMesh and not individually by chef.

[ilario]

Can anyone open an issue on this on the correct repository? (lime-sdk?)

[aparcar]

@FreifunkUFO would you mind?

[FreifunkUFO]

@aparcar why is "this issue .. out of scope for this project :("?
otherwise please reopen ticket.
