if i'm interested only in working with the bleeding-edge version, need i check out and use just the current git repo, master branch? is that sufficient? or, depending on the target board, would i need to add any other target-specific remotes to that? (i'm particularly interested in ramips/mt7620a.) if i'm using that git master branch, does that also track the development of the packages as well? if i "git pull" to update openwrt, would that necessitate my rerunning the packages update and install script? i can see the tex-based docs in the docs/ directory. are these docs also published online and kept up to date so that i don't need to install all the tex-based packages on my fedora rawhide system just to format and read them? i can see that the git repo has no actual tags to identify released or "rc" versions, and that the svn ids are used to track releases. i found this page: https://code.google.com/p/openwrt-git/ describing the conversion process to get tags if you want them. is that page still accurate? more later ... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
