Dear all,
I'm Paul Spooren and applied for this years GSoC. My project is to build
an attended sysupgrade to easily reflash routers on new releases.
For more information please read my blog post here:

Thanks in advance for all kind of feedback!
Best, Paul Spooren

I'd like to see
commit ed62d91f4b5296a4aa883ce975d76f590ef4e910
from Nick Lowe

commit 1a16cb9c67f0d2c530914aec31c721b75f03a908
from Matthias Schiffer
mac80211, hostapd: always explicitly set beacon interval
included as that fixes co-existence of AP+mesh interface combination
which was previously broken.

Hello everyone,
I'm Paul Spooren and I'll work on attended auto upgrades for LibreMesh (and Lede) this GSoC.
Some personal information, I'm 24 years old and study computer science at the University of Leipzig.
First I applied to work on captive portal login but after some discussion with my mentor(s) we decided to create an semi auto upgrade via the luci(-ng) fronted.
The shortcomings of captive portals will be covered in my first blogpost.
Once finished, the web interface will notify on new upgrades and the (to be created) update server will auto generate an image with all installed packages. This will simplify the update routine for all users, even with special setups where packages are required for Internet connection.
The "image as a service" approach could also optimize the current chef.altermundi.net setup.
What I've done last week:
* setup the build environment and get to know the build process
* "design" a requests model for the "image as a service" process
What I plan to do next week:
* setup a cache mechanism in the build scrips
* check luci(-ng) sysupgrade process
* write the blog post and create a timeline
Regards,
Paul Spooren
This is what we did so far (mostly during the hackaton, and a few things
before and after)
Changelog Dayboot Rely 17.04 (since 16.07)
• based on LEDE 17.01.1
• build everything using LEDE SDK, via new lime-cooker (instead of
lime-build)
• lime-system: fix ieee80211s proto, correctly construct ifnames
• lime-system: sanitize hostname (transform everything into alphanumeric
and dash)
• lime-system: new proto static
• lime-system: set dnsmasq force=1 to ensure dnsmasq never bails out
• lime-webui: enable i18n, finally webinterface is available in Spanish
• lime-webui: Major rework by NicoPace, thanks!
∘ bmx6 node graph now uses colors in a clever way
∘ simple way to add "system notes" that are shown along with
/etc/banner and webui
∘ luci-app-lime-location: fix google maps api key
∘ new read-only view: switch ports status
∘ alert luci-mod-admin users that their changes might get overwritten
by lime-config
∘ fix batman-adv status webui
• new package available to install lighttpd instead of uhttpd (needed
for an upcoming android app)
• added a lime-sysupgrade command: does a sysupgrade but only preserving
libremesh configuration file
• added a lime-apply command: basically calls reload_config, but also
applies hostname system-wide without rebooting
• lime-proto-anygw: unique mac based on ap_ssid (using %N1, %N2)
• lime-proto-anygw: integrate better into /etc/config/dhcp instead of
/etc/dnsmasq.d/
• lime-proto-batadv: set batadv gw_mode=client by default to counteract
rogue DHCP servers
• lime-proto-bmx6: introduce bmx6_pref_gw option, adds priority (x10) to
a specific bmx6 gateway
• bmx6: doesn't flood log with some spurious warnings anymore (syslog=0)
• bmx6: sms plugin now enabled by default
• bmx6: daemon is now supervised by procd, so it is restarted in case of
crashes
• bmx6: doesn't "configSync" by default anymore (no more "uci pending
changes" because of auto-gw-mode)
• new bmx6hosts tool: maintain an /etc/hosts that resolves fd66: <->
hostnames.mesh
• safe-reboot: fix, use /overlay/upper instead of /overlay
• safe-reboot: add "discard" action
• ath9k: debugged some hangs (interface is deaf) and workaround it
• alfred: fix bat-hosts facter, check for errors and don't nuke
/etc/bat-hosts in case of failure
• various Makefile dependency problems fixed
pending for confirmation: (already done but waiting merge or testing)
• don't tag bmx6 packets over ethernet and so use at least mtu=1500
everywhere
• make 80211s work correctly
