Hi all!
I was preparing some pre-configured images for NinuxVerona [1,2] and
following the italian guide for compiling Libre-Mesh [3].
When I reached the point about menuconfig I got a doubt:
why should I deselect all those modules?
Could you explain me if it's always a good idea to deselect
* Base system/dnsmasq
This is because of a strange thing in dnsmasq openwrt makefile, if you select
dnsmasq ipv6 version while still having the ipv4 one selected you get only the
ipv4 version of it while we need both ipv4 and ipv6
* Base system/firewall
Adding a layer on top of iptables is unnecessary complication moreover some
times create very difficult to debug problems, so better to save some KB on your
flash...
* Network/odhcpd
This create problems because it is enabled by default on owrt creating
unexpected behaviour including duplicated out of control dhcp assignments and
I haven't found a way to disable it with 100% success, so better to remove it
totally
and if it's not, in which cases should I keep
these?
Should I select some LiMe package to replace their functions?
For example I noticed lime-eb-ip-tables [4] which I guess is needed for
having masquerading even deselecting Base system/firewall?
All lime packages should depends on what they need to function so you should
not need to select nothing out of those lime packages you are interested in to
make them function correctly
Please update the documentation.
Cheers!
