Do I need to do that if I add some packages? I'm not sure where to add them
Hi, thanks for this build that I'm using, I'm coming from ddwrt, I can understand how OpenWrt work but I understand almost nothing about the builds numbers, updates, etc...
Sorry for the stupid question, now I've installed the OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r19345-72b93b77a5 / LuCI Master git-22.089.43958-7110635 that I don't know if is the latest updated, by the way, the latest update in your dropbox folder should be the master-r19345-72b93b77a5-20220401 ? What are the other builds? and why your builds report 19.xxx when the latest OpenWrt firmware should be 22.xx?
And when you compile a new build, I can simple upgrade from the CLI/LuCI interface the build: master-r19345-xyz-sysupgrade.bin?
I also have removed some software (AdBlock, since I'm using a pihole), but if I update with your build, the deleted software are inside again, right?
There's something also that I have to know before updating? I understand that those are stupid questions but I'm having some trouble to understand the "OpenWrt environment-builds" rather than networking features
Well, as I try to explain in the first message, I offer build from the development master branch and the two current stable branches 22.03 and 21.02. The latest builds are listed in message 1.
In the build version I show the branch, Openwrt revision (rXXXXX - commit hash) and the build date: owrt2203-r19206-6e7bf6ad95-20220403
OpenWrt 22.03 revision r19206-6e7bf6ad95 built on 2022-04-03.
Various branches get bug fix updates, but e.g. in the 21.02 the main OpenWrt code is mainly from 2021 February, while 22.03 is based on March 2022 code. Current branches:
you are probably referring to the LuCI GUI revision shown at footer. It shows the Luci main version, but various LuCI components have newer revisions.
Btw, for the master build it shows currently:
If you flash a new firmware image, you naturally get also all the packages included in the image. But note that if you have set adblock as disabled in the adblock config, it remains disabled. Configs are preserved by default in sysupgrade.
Thanks a lot for the reply and all the info, now I'm starting to understand a little more, what a complicated development in OpenWrt

Thanks a lot for the image, do you have a source for it? Maybe there's also a little explanation in the same article.

Yes, my mistake, I have already installed the master/last (22.089)
then there're the stables builds: 22.03 and 21.02, both are currently developed but are not the latest if I correctly understand. Weird but okay, I'm making confusion also because the OpenWrt wiki I think has not been updated:
If you flash a new firmware image, you naturally get also all the packages included in the image. But note that if you have set adblock as disabled in the adblock config, it remains disabled. Configs are preserved by default in sysupgrade.
I have done (and updated along the versions) the chart by myself.
It can also be found on the wiki's history page, with the explanations that I have written.
They are "the latest" of their release version branch...
Similarly as there is a fully updated windows 10 while there is already also Windows 11. (Or Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 21.10 and soon also 22.04. Each of them have separate updates.)
No.
You have circled r19345 of 2202-04-01 while the directory below is 5 days newer r19368 of 2022-04-06.
You can check from the first message of the thread the newest builds. I build pretty often.
Master with the previous default firewall package version. Iptables based firewall3 was the default until January, while now there is nftables based firewall4 in master and 22.03.

Oh great, it's at the bottom, for that I haven't found it, what a stupid!

Yes, obviously (at least I understand correctly)

Ah right, my mistake again, because I had installed it just few days ago and I thought the r19345 was the still the last build, great to know that you're compiling new builds so often, thanks
So I just updated (my first update )
From r19345-72b93b77a5 / LuCI Master git-22.089.43958-7110635
To r19368-64f629e207 / LuCI Master git-22.089.43958-7110635
...all perfect but unfortunately I noticed that the DDNS service didn't start automatically because I've installed myself the ddns-scripts-noip (https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/ddns-scripts-noip) package that are not included in your DDNS provider list. For me it's a big trouble because I use (the pretty common) no-ip.com service to get the dynamic ip address for my VPN/wireguard, if I make a remote update and it doesn't start/update my IP, I can't no more connect to my VPN obviously.
Now I need to auto-download it every time I update, is it possible (maybe it's a silly question but I'm new here) to automate it? Or can you please include this 1Kb package in your build?
pkg_hash_check_unresolved will always be an issue with community builds, if you need any kernel modules beyond those provided by hnyman, you will have to build the complete firmware from source yourself (enabling and integrating them into your firmware image). Dependencies between kernel and its modules are very strict, in practice they will differ for every build - so even a build done now, wouldn't match with the modules from the official binary package repositories.
yeah, I know it, but mostly the builds are working quite good for a week or more. Normally I will use 21.02 (which works good), but I need to test a package, which is only available in 22.03.
I am not sure if I have understood correctly:
If you need any additional modules, you have to build it by yourself -> OK
If you do not need any additional modules and just want to use the community build from hnman (btw: thanks for all your work!), why the hash check differ between the same sysupgrade version and ath10k-mainline-xxxx.ipk.
I checked for all versions that the version is really matching to ech other.
For example I have tried today:
owrt2203-r19235-d0965dc174-20220410
owrt2203-r19206-6e7bf6ad95-20220403
owrt2102-r16545-39bf2aee0e-20220407
All showing this pkg_hash_check_unresolved.
