I didn't care about it at all. I just installed luci and tried whether it works for me

EDIT: it did work as before because my ISP uses DHCPv6. I tried odhcp6c manually from CLI - looks like random works but still not a real life scenario.

@timur.davletshin

just installed luci and tried it

I used LuCI too, but noticed it logging in to copy/paste the configuration.

Hence the norelease was added by LuCI.

Have you notified the banner has the text of the APK warning twice?

Have you updated your /etc/profile (after recent changes)?

I guessed that it will happen to many, who keep settings at sysupgrade...

@hnyman

As concrete example, the /etc/profile.d was heavily modified by https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/eb71d1000968ff45f6ed5aeda87a86548eb0685a last week. I assume that many users still carry the old version, as they have sysupgraded with "keep settings".

I usually check that box for my own backups, so that the backup does not carry default stuff from the current image.

/etc/profile was split to several pieces, and if you carry the old version, you see the text both from it and from the new separate snippets.

You should copy a fresh /etc/profile from /rom/etc/profile so that the separated parts get removed from the main profile.

???

OK....I'll read up on this change and try to understand what you're saying.

I assume from a quick read - that the previous sysupgrade behavior has changed. I'll test after the family's Sunday gathering (and Internet streaming).

Thanks.

@lleachii

No. No change there.

But some of the default files (that are backuped in sysupgrade as you may change them) were changed, and you carry the old version in your sysupgrade backup.

Like I said above

There is a file in /etc/profile.d/that gives out the banner, as well as the banner part being inside /etc/profileitself. I deleted the part in the latter file to stop it from being displayed twice.
