short question: if i'm looking at all the binary images for the
fixed version 8.09 available under
http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09/, is there a way to quickly
select and configure the 8.09 source tree for a particular model so
that what i build is *exactly* equivalent to the downloadable
binaries?
long form of the question: i think it's useful to know that you can
configure and build the source and it ends up being identical (barring
perhaps embedded build date strings or something like that) to what
you can simply download and flash. what that does is let a user know
that, yes, they really do know what they're doing in terms of a build
so that they're more confident if they want to try that with a more
recent checkout.
is there currently a way to do this? i'm thinking of what's doable
with the linux kernel, in that each arch/ subdirectory has a further
subdirectory configs/, for all of the possible configurations. for
instance, arch/arm/configs contains the default config files for
numerous platforms:
acs5k_defconfig
acs5k_tiny_defconfig
afeb9260_defconfig
am200epdkit_defconfig
ams_delta_defconfig
assabet_defconfig
at91cap9adk_defconfig
at91rm9200dk_defconfig
at91rm9200ek_defconfig
...
so that all you need to do is:
$ make ARCH=arm ams_delta_defconfig
and with the kernel, the top-level Makefile even contains processing
to list all the possible targets if you type:
$ make ARCH=arm help
...
acs5k_defconfig - Build for acs5k
acs5k_tiny_defconfig - Build for acs5k_tiny
afeb9260_defconfig - Build for afeb9260
am200epdkit_defconfig - Build for am200epdkit
ams_delta_defconfig - Build for ams_delta
...
could something like this be done for openwrt (if it isn't already,
and i just missed it), so that someone need do nothing more than:
$ make wrt54gl_2.6_defconfig
and build what is downloadable? or is that feature already available
and i've just overlooked it? thanks.
