Hello, it is not about web interfaces :)
moving to the overlay means first of all to move from svn to git. And I think this is a major improvement. the routing overlay is managed by the routing community, so we are more flexible and fast to accept patches, review them , and to give to people commit rights. Most of people that develop routing protocols used on OpenWRT know each other, most of them attend the Battlemesh every year ... the OpenWRT svn is not flexible enough for submitting/rebasing patches, and to have commits rights you have to come here to Rome and ask the Pope to sign some papers !!! :) of course, no one is forced to move to the routing overlay. If you like to use the svn packages of OpenWRT it is okay to just don't change anything. For olsrd we have so many people working on the OpenWRT packaging, that the overlay on github turned out to be very good. ciao :) Saverio 2013/5/3 Juliusz Chroboczek <[email protected]>: >> the idea is to be able to have pull requests on github, instead of >> endless emails in the openwrt-devel mailing list :) > >> just think about it, when you want to migrate tell us :) > > Saverio, perhaps you could explain a little more why migrating to the > overlay would be a good thing for us.
