To address this, we decided to do a fresh start on GitHub. The new feed https://github.com/openwrt/packages should be used from now on and package maintainers are asked to move their packages there. For the final release we will still build the old packages feed but it will be necessary to enable it manually in the opkg package list to be usable. Additionally we would like to give a big thank you to all of our package maintainers working on our various feeds. New build servers We would like to express our gratitude to Imagination Technology for funding the 2 build servers that we used for the release. Whats next ? We aim at releasing Chaos Calmer (CC) before the end of the year. The CC release will use 3.14 or a newer LTS kernel as baseline. Have fun!
