Discussion about the v2022.1

• Timeline: Release within two weeks (19.08.2022).
  • Afterwards: ~ 6 weeks later, release v2022.1.1
• Discussion about the PRs that are already in the v2022.1 milestone:
  • https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2365
    • Since v2022.1 already bumps OpenWrt, we already change a lot.
    • Therefore this feature is postponed to the v2022.1.1 in order to be able to differentiate issues.
  • https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2491
    • Must become upstream in OpenWrt.
    • This has been tested by [👤 NeoRaider]. But since then, the gcc version has been bumped. So it should be tested again.
    • Since recent tests are missing, this will most likely not happen within the next two weeks.
• Discussion about potential new PRs to this milestone:
  • https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2601
    • It would be nice, if this is merged before the release, since then it would be included in the first wireguard release of gluon.
      • The key translation is most effective, if no wireguard-keys have been generated yet.
    • Consenus:
      • Neoraider should review this PR, since he has the most insight into fastds crypto.
    • Blocktrron would not like to delay the milestone for this PR.
    • We would like to try to merge this before 19.08.2022 (if possible).
      • If not, we will add a note to release note, that this package is about to come.
  • https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2599
    • Should be sane, only needs testing.
• Release-Notes:
  • https://md.darmstadt.ccc.de/gluon-v2022.1.x-rn
  • https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2609
  • Missing Parts:
    • Wireguard ([👤 lemoer], [👤 aiyion])
    • L2TP ([👤 blocktrron])
    • Network Regeneration ([👤 blocktrron])
• Is there anything open from the ar71-xx -> ath79 migration?
  • No, everything important has been done.

32 Client Limit bei ath10k-ct

• There is this a limit that ath10k-ct only supports 32 clients.
• Let's discuss this.
• Probably this is patchable.
• Discussion result: It should be patched.
• Blocktrron will look into it.
• New issue was created: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/2604

Open PRs

• https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2553
  • This has been merged, since it touches only babel things.
• https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2552
  • Aiyion would like to handle the upgrade process downstream different from upstream.
  • There are only two devices in Germany.
  • Therefore, we would not like to maintain downstream patches here.
• https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/pull/2596
  • Nice to have.
  • Merged.
