Hi Felix,
What is this netifd and ubus business appearing in trunk? What is it
implementing or replacing? Will it affect all platforms and be included
firmware images by default or does it have to be specifically compiled
into an image? How can we help you testing this new package, what should
we be looking for in terms of regression testing?
ubus simply implements an RPC service, making it easy for C programs to
export an API that can easily be accessed from other C code or even
shell scripts.
netifd is going to replace the network configuration scripts at some
point. right now it's experimental and disabled by default, as not all
network proto handlers have been converted yet (so far, static, ppp,
pppoe, pppoa, dhcp are supported).
What would be useful is not just testing what has been ported, but also
review of the code and porting more of our protocol handler scripts.
When all the existing features have been ported over, this will be
enabled by default and the old scripts will be removed.
