Topics

Please always note your name next to your topic

• [ :bust_in_silhouette: skorpy] Can one take this over: gluon-setup-mode: allow network-triggered activation (#2778)
• [ :bust_in_silhouette: djfe] cleanup /etc/opkg/keys on upgrades #2665
  • it would be nice to delete those before the upgrade via a script from inside the sysupgrade image before the upgrade
    • currently no realistic option
  • delete keys via a hook from inside the autoupdater once it's clear that an update is going to happen
• [ :bust_in_silhouette: mkg20001] olsr2 client ap https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2788
  • would be nice to have, stuck on l3roamd prefix import
  • but works flawlessly without
  • needs review, should be merged before 23
• [ :bust_in_silhouette: mkg20001] nftables migration https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2783
  • a lot more space is used now, but only a switch affected
    • 6m devices will no longer have enough space
    • will be thrown out sometime after Gluon 23, likely in a batch with fw3
    • pr is quite big
    • own branch for pull request where each module is individually pr'd on and tested
    • necessary modules prioritised over optional ones
• [ :bust_in_silhouette: mkg20001] vlan ui https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2907
  • would need changes in webui logic to handle ui changes during form:write
    • current hack breaks ui partly
    • rewrite current multilistvalue into a custom vlan-add-remove-ui component
      • vlans could be added/removed without having to do an extra request
      • would be all Javascript state changes on the Client
    • use preact and parcel for new frontend
      • first make a small pr to demonstrate
    • new element that uses the new frontend and loads it from existing network page
      • gets json from backend, later exports json into hidden form field
  • needs sorting, so the order isn't always random
    • example alphanumeric sorting
    • this isn't a requirement for the PR, can be fixed later
• community-packages could be looked through again. since review isn't a hard-requirement we could merge some of the pull requests that the maintainers themselves didn't define as being work-in-progress.
