Snapshots for ar71xx are not generated

the ar71xx MikroTiks aren't gonna be supported

Until someone ports them to ath79, they are not going to be updated or have snapshots built.

Edit: None of this should be new to anyone, even those not following the mailing lists. There was a "reprieve granted" over immediate removal of the ar71xx source entirely from master. See also, for example

Porting guide ar71xx to ath79?

Hey there, as the topic says, does anybody work currently on an 4.14 config and patches for ar71xx platform? I want to switch from shortcut-fe (fast-classifier) to the new ipt-offload kernel (4.14) modules and i dont know what the steps are for creating a good config for my ar71xx routers. Also i see there are a lot of patches for 4.4 and 4.9 versions... I'm not a big openwrt dev, but i know something about building linux kernel and rootfs for embedded machines and also about build a custom …

The three things that I am aware of that have held back certain boards from ath79 ports include:

• SPI-NAND -- required Linux 4.19 upstream framework
• "Raw" NAND drivers
• SoC-specific NAND drivers
• Mikrotik-specific functionality

The first one I understand intimately. The challenges of the other I haven't looked into (as I don't have those devices in hand).
