misc: sync table of hardware to downloads.openwrt.org
pktpls opened this issue · 1 comments
This idea is more of a service to downstream projects.
Apart from the various build profile files generated by OpenWrt buildroot, the community-curated Table of Hardware is a super useful resource, which helps downstream projects customize their builds based on device features. Its CSV dump is available at https://openwrt.org/_media/toh_dump_tab_separated.gz
It would be quite neat to have the CSV dump included in downloads.openwrt.org - we run mirrors for that within our mesh network @freifunk-berlin and on little battery-powered SBCs. That helps us having everything needed to build device firmware even in rough/disconnected/broken physical locations of the network, and saves us bandwidth towards the internet gateway locations.
We already started syncing the dump to our own release server firmware.berlin.freifunk.net recently, but I think this could be useful for others as well.
P.S. love your hard buildbot work in the past weeks and months! I've been grinding buildbot too, for our own builds :-)
Could you perhaps ask on the mailing list? It quite doesn't fit into this project, not moving to openwrt/openwrt/issues as its not a bug, but feature request.
