Advice to NOT checkout the tagged release:
For most users it is usually better to compile from the HEAD of the release branch instead of compiling the exact release like 21.02.0
Checking out the exact release locks also the feeds (packages, LuCI etc..) to the commits at the release moment. Later fixes made to LuCI and other packages will not get compiled into the firmware. Similarly fixes made later to the 21.02 branch main OpenWrt sources do not get included. (see the locked feeds at https:/…
git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git
cd source
git fetch --tags
git checkout v17.01.0-rc2
But if you are building just for yourself, you are usually better off by building from the release branch's head, as you get then also the latest post-rc fixes.
