Well, you can say that it replaces the command scripts/feeds setup -b src-link,custom,/usr/local/src/lede/custom with the alternative command echo -e "src-include defaults feeds.conf.default\nsrc-link custom /usr/local/src/lede/custom" > feeds.conf :-) I am obviously missing your point. I do see the problem having to *maintain* local files. But I don't see the problem with some static local file which is used unmodified for every build regardless of version. It seems much easier than maintaining additional local build rules to generate or update that local file. My main problem with a feeds.conf which doesn't auto-depend on feeds.conf.default, is that it will always be stale. Having some new command to update it does not help me more than having cat or sed does today. I've found myself more than once building a development branch with a feeds.conf generated from some released feeds.conf.default, and vice versa. I need a way to make sure I remember to refresh the defaults when switching branches. Or better: Not having to remember it.
