Hi all,
OpenWrt 18.06 is just around the corner with fun new stuff, like options
to encrypted 11s mesh & support for tons of new devices!
To create a LibreMesh release that satisfies all tastes, we should think
a bit of new flavors, meaning the combination of preinstalled packages.
Some points to consider:
* There is a new lime-proto-babeld plugin allowing babeld routing
* The lime-proto-bmx7 plugin and BMX7 itself became way more stable and
has various advances over BMX6
* Using encrypted mesh requires wpand-mesh-{openssl, wolfssl} installed,
aka big crypto libs
* The lime-app shows some basic infos which could satisfy basic user
requirements.
I'm happy to merge flavor PRs and build them on our new snapshot server
for all common targets.
Sunshine,
Paul

Yeah!!!

And we need to battle test the new versions of everything to ensure no
new bugs appeared!
We had many experiences about that from the past, so let's not step onto
the same rock!

I guess the flavors are a good way to propose the community a basic set
of packages, but would encourage to use a very basic flavor and then add
packages using Network Profile's PACKAGES file (that work exactly the
same way).
Would leave the flavors use to just the default LibreMesh demo mode :)
(a mode that just works and as our 'recommended' set of technologies).
In that sense for now we haven't moved from batman-adv and BMX6, but for
what I understand there are trials being done with BMX7 and Babel...
would be great if those doing them could share their experience on
plug-and-play meshes!

Ok... scratch « flavor » we don’t care about that. ( flavor are only a set of packages:
mini, normal ... )
I’m on mobile right now, but I was thinking of the hardware specific install... I wonder
what is different from archer v7 v1 to archer v7 v2 .... and can we build v7 v3 ourSelf

I don't see how this is related to my initial question, what devices are
supported is not related to LibreMesh but it's parent distribution,
OpenWrt. They offer a long list of supported devices [0], check it out.

Hi,
So
what I meant with this mail, what is our recommended set of
technologies (aka routing protocols)?
* Stick with BMX6 even tho BMX7 works better?
* Offer a firmware which run babeld without any additional configuration?
* Include wpad-mesh-wolftls to allow directly the use of encrypted mesh
networks?
* Focus more on lime-app and may even remove the Luci webinterface as
it's not compatible with the /etc/config/lime file?
And we need to battle test the new versions of
everything to ensure no
new bugs appeared!

Yes, so let's start to offer some firmware images based on the
lime-packages master branch so people can test all the newly introduced
stuff.
Some points to
consider:
* There is a new lime-proto-babeld plugin allowing babeld routing
* The lime-proto-bmx7 plugin and BMX7 itself became way more stable and
has various advances over BMX6
* Using encrypted mesh requires wpand-mesh-{openssl, wolfssl} installed,
aka big crypto libs
* The lime-app shows some basic infos which could satisfy basic user
