-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi.
The problem of sysupgrade and overlay is known and there is no established standard procedure to deal with it yet. Current plan is to eventually disable the overlay after a sysupgrade and prompt the user to clean it up. There is no easy way to programatically decide which files should be retained and which should be synced or removed. For example old kmods are generally useless, stray opkg metadata will cause issues as you've noticed etc. In some worst case scenarios, stray data in the overlay can cause the system to not boot anymore as long as the disk is attached. The current best practice is keeping a good list of configurations and unmanaged files (custom scripts, certs, etc.) in /etc/sysupgrade.conf and wiping the overlay prior to a reflash. The new packages are easily reinstalled and should pick up the retained configuration. ~ Jow -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzyQD0ACgkQdputYINPTPM0PACfRAN+twFZjMEBmUOMLDYkBqyw VcIAn03VCYzfHBTsxCEd2knEFhjixiOi =DWWD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
