Thanks.  How portable are G.PON sticks to different OLT's?  Or are ONT's 
married to a particular OLT of the same vendor?

Sadly the falcon didn't really make it to fly with OpenWrt (yet).
It's used in a couple of GPON SFP modules, so would sure be an
interesting target...

ox810se has recently seen some love upstream, Ethernet may work in
5.17+ and we could backport that for testing if anyone got the
hardware flying around.

Those are very helpful for testing MIPS(el)32/64 and should be kept.

Hey Paul,

This may be slightly off-topic, but I remember sometime back moving something 
(xtables-addons I think it was) from openwrt/ to packages/ and having to go 
through about 11 steps to copy it over and preserve the edit-history.  
Jo-Philipp was very helpful in making sure it went right, btw.  Thanks, dude!

It was a little daunting, and the potential for screwing it up was huge (there 
were multiple branches that needed to be moved over, for instance, not just 
"master" of course).

I think that if we had tooling to make moving things between repos (while 
preserving metadata) would make this an easier decision to make, as we'd have 
more confidence in the process.

I like the idea of putting more platforms in the targets/ repo and "promoting" 
them to openwrt/ when they become stable (and perhaps "demoting" them back to 
some other repo, or a "deprecated" branch of targets/ when they become 
obsolete).

Maybe someone with strong git-fu could throw together the tooling?

I'd do it but it's been too long since I went through the process and I'd 
probably get it wrong at this point.

What do you all think?

-Philip

Status of source-only targets

2022-01-10 Thread Paul Spooren
Hi,

Looking at openwrt.git I find seven targets with the source-only tag. The tag 
means the build infrastructure skips building the targets. Does it make sense 
to carry those target in tree or should we move them to our target archive?

- lantiq/falcon
- oxnas/ox810se
- malta/le64
- malta/le
- malta/be64

Those two targets are fairly new and likely “not fully ready yet”, do we track 
progress somewhere?

- bmips
- qoriq

Thanks for all further comments!

Best,
Paul
