OpenWrt build number

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,

I've just installed and configured my first OpenWRT router and have a question....I am currently running OpenWrt 19.07.3 r11063-85e04e9f46 on my BT Homehub 5a.

How do I know what release version is available from the download page? It just says 'openwrt-19.07.3-lantiq-xrx200-bt_homehub-v5a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin', so a basic version number but not release number.

Thanks

This is a code/release revision.

This is not a code branch, but a tag.

Git tag is a specific point in the repository history that matches a single revision.

> git branch -a
* master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/lede-17.01
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/openwrt-18.06
  remotes/origin/openwrt-19.07

> git tag
...
v18.06.7
v18.06.8
v19.07.0
v19.07.0-rc1
v19.07.0-rc2
v19.07.1
v19.07.2
v19.07.3

You'll have to excuse my lack of GitHub knowledge.....So if I download 'v19.7.03' for As long as it is available would it always be release 'r11063-85e04e9f46'?

I presumed that there would be smaller code releases until a larger 'v19.7.04' was released.
If there is, is there a way to tell from the Openwrt websites download, what release you are downloading?

Official OpenWrt releases use only Git tags, i.e. a single revision per tag.
The versioning scheme of unofficial releases and forks depends on their vendor.

Great, that explains it all thanks
