make router profile aware

[aparcar]

in addition to #7 it could be useful to make the routers aware of the used network-profile so it can ask a possible update server to include the profile.

Is this already implemented and I'm missing something?

I think it is not implemneted... but it is actually a good idea to embed something like a 'fingerprint' of the config so it can be identified.
I think @p4u has been looking on this... (do you see a pattern here? ... :) ).

May a possible solution:

• Generate the packages mentioned in create network-profile packages #7 so a opkg list would already supply the information
  or
• Add a simple txt/yaml file /etc/network-profile containing the network-profile name
  • Auto created via cooker/update-server
  • Put in the repository, may filled with additional information about the profile

updates on this? It's not a must feature as config files should be saved on sysupgrade anyway

[nicopace]

Maybe this is something you need to ask for in the lime-sdk project

[aparcar]

Not only lime-sdk but the imagebuilder as well can "handle" network profiles...

Solution would be to use the packages produced here:
#7

[p4u]

I would include this information (network profile) to /etc/lime_release

The packages generated with your script might include, by default, an uci-defaults script to add an extra line to this file containing the network-profile information on first boot

Also lime-sdk (cooker) might be modified to write this uci-defaults scripts in case a --community is specified

@p4u if installed via package the network-profile is withn the packagelist and would be automatically requested on sysupgrade. That solves the issue already for me.

Introducing a new parameter to lime_release makes it less "conform" with regular LEDE, in future I'd like to see all lime-packages move to official LEDE packages so not introduce to many special modifications.

unify all the stuff!

All solved I think via this http://repo.libremesh.org/network-profiles/
