something i'm curious about ... if i set up an openwrt router, and want to have it managed centrally, one of the things i'd like is the ability to be notified of firmware upgrades.
a trivial solution is just to run a cron job that queries the central administrator for newer firmware, lets the router admin know about the new firmware, asks whether to upgrade, etc. that's easy. but to get fancier, rather than polling a central site, configure the local router to receive notification only when new firmware is available and avoid the trouble of regular polling. and what about supporting different categories of upgrades -- "optional" versus "critical/security", and so on, the ability to select which types of upgrades are optional versus which are mandatory and will be done without human intervention, and so on. i poked around the openwrt wiki but didn't notice anything -- has anyone already done this? am i overthinking this? thanks. rday _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
