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
* Base system/firewall
* Network/odhcpd
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?
Thanks,
Ilario

* 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?

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!

Is it a bad idea to add negative dependencies (conflicts) of lime-system
from this packages so you dont have to deselect them manually?

You have te deselect manually them anyway, it just hide your package while the
other is enabled

Ok, but now (even manually selecting dnsmasq-dhcpv6) masquerading is not
working at all for me. I have no rules in none of the iptables tables.
A workaround similar to this [1] should be included in lime-proto-wan
(or lime-eb-ip-tables?).
Adding another topic:
how do I specify the DHCP server range for dnsmasq in lime config files?
Ok.
Anyway I'm curious: why OpenWRT people make this coexist with dnsmasq
(enabling both by default)?
Ok.
Could anyone clarify when lime-eb-ip-tables is needed and when is
superfluous?
Thanks,
Ilario

But now I don't have neither one nor the other, neither selected in
the menu nor present in the device.
What's wrong?
dnsmasq-dhcpv6 is between the dependencies of lime-proto-anygw but I'm
not using that.
The packages I selected are:
lime-debug
lime-eb-ip-tables
lime-hwd-ground-routing
lime-hwd-openwrt-wan
lime-proto-batadv
lime-proto-wan
lime-system
lime-webui
'cause I'm planning to use just L2 routing with batman-adv, so I
shouldn't use anygw, right?
When one selects lime-proto-wan, usually is because he/she wants to use
the router as gateway, so maybe it could have dependency from
dnsmasq-dhcpv6 also?
