Re: [lime-dev] Firmware size and downloads.libre-mesh.org

Hi. I was talking with Gui and we both agree on repointing downloads.libre-mesh.org to builds.libre-mesh.org where there are automatic builds (using lime-build) of develop and the current release CommunityChaos 16.07 together with the package repositories for opkg. I think that is the best option for stock/generic official firmwares. Then Chef can be used for customizing those communities who need customization. If someone does not agree we can open a discussion. However after building the binaries, something took my attention. Now the generated images are much smaller than before. The ar71xx-mini target takes only 2.5M and the ar71xx with lime-full profile fits in a 4MB device. My first thinking was that the compilation was wrong but I tested and everything is fine. I know we clean up a bit the default packages list of lime-build and also removed some of them which were not strictly necessary. But I was not expecting such big difference on output firmware size. That is actually great!

Cheers.
