What if I want to build a custom image for the latest Backfire release candidate (i.e. 10.03.1 rc4)?  It's not tagged.  Backfire 10.03 was tagged... and previous releases (and release candidates) have been tagged (i.e. 8.09_rc2).

I should be able to do the following to checkout a specific build, such as Backfire 10.03.1 rc4:
svn checkout svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/backfire_10.03.1_rc4 .

Knowing that Backfire 10.03.1 rc4 was built from SVN r24045, I could do this:
svn checkout -r24045 svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/backfire .

But it should be tagged IMHO.

Also, it doesn't look like the feeds packages are tagged for the respective releases.  Again, I could do this:
svn checkout -r24045 svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages feeds/packages

Would that ensure I was building the same feeds packages as in Backfire 10.03.1 rc4?

Is there a better way to create a custom image of a release?

Thanks.

Pull in revisioin 24045, copy feeds.conf.default to feeds.conf, and append @24045 directly after the packages line (no spaces).

Works like a treat.

The discussion might have continued from here.
