[lime-dev] the upcoming release

Hi! I finally got to the point to test the results of running 802.11s on plain LEDE and want to switch to the upcoming LiMe release and help testing. As most of the folders on the release download server are still empty I liberated enough free space on my SSD to build the SDK and IB from scratch myself. The good part: Congratulations for switching to the IB+SDK and starting a more productive colaboration with the upstream projects! It's great to see that the Libremesh fishtank has finally poured into the open sea :) In the next week I'll be working on a test-deployment which will be based on the upcoming LiMe release and hence LEDE-17.01.2(-pre) on a Lantiq XRX200 device providing a VDSL gateway plus a bunch of ar71xx devices providing the mesh+APs. I hope that we can then annouce to have sucessfully overcome the boundaries of only using only one hardware platform. And make the switch to 11s (which I'll be using there as well) The rather sad part of the tour through the upcoming release was to find 'libusys' which was apparently pulled in by 'organge-rpc': Please take a look the code at https://github.com/mkschreder/libusys/tree/master/src Did you notice that this is someone trying to recycle Felix code' from 5 years ago? And never send a single message to the upstream mailing lists or ever tried to contribute just one line? Besides that, it's also sad in terms of making best use of our scarse flash and memory resources, because we already got everything which is there (uloop, ulog, ...) and need it anyway for procd, netifd, ... Now have a look and compare with the above: https://git.lede-project.org/?p=project/libubox.git https://git.lede-project.org/?p=project/ubox.git https://git.lede-project.org/?p=project/ustream-ssl.git (and some more) Why on earth include it again, in an outdated version?! To me it was quite shocking to see that you are using weird outdated stuff which is featured by an isolated one-man-show rather than participating in the much wider and public collaboration. If you really need websockets, why not attach them to uhttpd (I didn't quite understand why you need them in that context I must admit)? If you want a JSON-RPC, why not use uhttpd-mod-ubus? Anyway. It somehow happened. What's the plan and how to proceed with the lime-ui story? Maybe I'm just lacking information... Cheers Daniel
