Help building 19.07 branch

[larrynz]

Hi,

I've managed to create my own master snapshot build for the WRT32X, using https://divested.dev/unofficial-openwrt-builds/mvebu-linksys/#selfBuild as a guide. No problems this is all good.

However when attempting to make a 19.07 snapshot build but all that happens is I end up with a master snapshot build instead.

General steps

1. • git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
2. • cd openwrt
3. • git checkout -b openwrt-19.07 #verify I am working on the correct branch $ git branch --show-current
4. • ./scripts/feeds update -a -f
5. • ./scripts/feeds install -a -f
6. • make defconfig # create new config template for this branch
7. • make menuconfig #make changes and save
8. • make download -j4
9. • make -j12

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks

git checkout -b openwrt-19.07

That looks wrong.
Should be just git checkout openwrt-19.07 , otherwise you create a new branch...

(And note that the 19.07 builds are branded as "19.07-SNAPSHOT")

That works, thank you.

Makes sense, git checkout -b must have been creating a copy of the master branch.
