Hi attended sysupgrades which was snuck into the bottom of https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/advanced/opkg_extras seems to be a better way of upgrading my firmware rather then finding the sysupgrade file and saving my packages and then reinstalling it on update. Am I missing something? There also seems to be a lack of documentation on this so I just wanted to seek some guidance. Does it still work?
Thanks in advance
I seems to have updates in a regular manner in the code, so it seems to be ok: https://github.com/openwrt/luci/tree/master/applications/luci-app-attendedsysupgrade
So why normally upgrade firmware at all when you can just use that?
Read through the open and closed issues on that github: not saying that you will run into an issue, but I think the chances are greater with that tool than doing it the old-fashioned way. Until it's at least as reliable, I doubt it could be made a default path.
Oh thanks, looking at the issues there do seem to be some small issues. I just tested it myself and it worked great and as McGiverGim said, it is updated in a regular manner. But yeah your point does make sense and I guess this is just a convenience tool for people willing to take the risk.
