Sorry if the question was already discussed, but...
Browsing ToH, I see that previously worked links to Instalations method(s) and Recovery method(s) now leads to deleted/moved wiki pages, so there is no easy/reliable way to find the device-specific installation instruction anymore.
Is there any reason to that? And any hope to find the instructions?
(Thinking of buying an openwrt-supported router, so wandering around devices and instructions in general, not asking for a specific device.)
Can you provide an example?
E.g. for Archer C6 https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c6_v2_us. Same for I think an every device page I'm opening...
Let's keep this open for comment by those who maintain the wiki, but the info is still available. My guess is that the previous links for installation and such have been deprecated because it is now standard for the git commit to have the instructions (per device).
The link near the top that is the git commit has all the info. There is also the device page here that also has the info you need.
Oh, OK, thank you for hinting about the Device page. Looks like it is unavailable for some devices as well. E.g. here
Some devices has only "edit" link. The first one https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/asus/asus_gt-ac5300 says "* Searching for installation instructions, bootlogs, other info? See link to Device Page below. But I can't find the link there as well. The link https://openwrt.org/toh/asus/asus_gt-ac5300 doesn't work as well. So... hope for fixing the hwdata pages.
The general install and recovery instructions were pretty useless for all devices since the methods to be used is always device specific depending on the hardware design and manufacturer inventions so I am not surprised they are finally gone.
Always use the device specific instructions.
Is it possible that some installation and recovery method pages are not deleted but moved, probably by @tmomas on 2019/09/14?
Maybe certain configurations were not adjusted after these moves. That seems to be noticeable on e.g. some "Techdata" pages. The "Dataentry" for "Installation method(s)" and "Recovery method(s)" are sometimes giving a links to a page with message "This page does not exist anymore".
If so, I hope @tmomas or somebody with sufficient rights can update the configuration and "RFC: Installation instructions + ToH" information.
Is it possible those links are not working anymore due to move of pages (on 2019/09/14) without adjusting proper configuration?
I assume the tryout is over and decision is to use namespaces docs:guide-user:installation:installation_methods and docs:guide-user:installation:recovery_methods?
Are these now replaced by the following?
Installation methods - lists all installation method pages
Recovery methods - lists all recovery method pages
Thanks for looking into these.
