The ##built-in section of each package list was copied by hand from the
Firmware Selector for every new release. It is now generated from the
target's profiles.json (default_packages + device_packages, plus the two
packages the Selector adds on top), which reproduces the hand-written list
byte for byte, order included.
New lib-openwrt-upstream.sh holds the shared upstream access: URL
construction, cached fetches, version detection, device search over
.overview.json and profiles.json parsing. It needs python3, not jq.
New gen-package-list.sh writes config_<ver>/packages_<dev>_<ver>.txt,
replacing only the generated block so hand-written extras and the ##module
section survive; --stdout and --apply skip the file entirely.
download-config.sh:
- Look the device up in the official index instead of a hardcoded table of
three devices, so any supported device can be selected by name.
- Build the firmware URLs from profiles.json images[]. The old code pasted
the target into the filename with its '/' intact, so the URL was always
wrong and the check always warned.
- Stage the download in a temp file and validate it before touching
.config, and keep a backup. A 404 used to truncate .config to nothing.
- Fix version detection: `git describe --tags --abbrev=0` returns a tag
whenever any tag is reachable, so the entire fallback chain below it was
unreachable and a branch tip silently produced the wrong release URL.
- Build only the selected device instead of all 35 in the target, and turn
off the buildbot flags (ALL_KMODS, ALL_NONSHARED, SDK, IB,
MAKE_TOOLCHAIN, COLLECT_KERNEL_DEBUG, AUTOREMOVE). Verified not to change
the firmware: the set of packages built into the image is identical
either way (193 packages), while the module packages to build drop from
1248 to 0. --keep-buildbot-flags and --all-profiles restore the old
behaviour.
- Assert the device symbol survived make defconfig, so a tree that does not
match the release fails loudly instead of silently building the default.
add-openwrt-packages.sh:
- Rewrite existing CONFIG_PACKAGE_ lines in place. Repeated runs used to
append duplicates and grow .config every time.
- Support removal via a -pkg prefix or a ##remove section.
- Fix the parser dropping a lone '#' or an unknown ##header into the
package list, where it was reported as a missing package named '#'.
- Read .config once into a map instead of grepping it per package, and
compare package names exactly rather than as regexes.
- After make defconfig, report any package whose final state differs from
what was asked for, which is the only way to see a removal that a
dependency pulled back in.
Delete add-openwrt-packages_old.sh; nothing referenced it and it was a
strict subset of the current script.

prepare-openwrt-env.sh
- Dispatch on the package manager instead of guessing from the distro
version: apt, dnf/yum, pacman, zypper and apk are all supported.
- Probe every package against the running release and skip the ones that
no longer exist. Previously a single dropped package (on Ubuntu 26.04
arm64, gcc-multilib-s390x-linux-gnu) failed the whole apt command and
set -e aborted the script, so nothing was installed at all.
- Align the package lists with the official build system guide, adding
libelf-dev, python3-dev, bc, xsltproc, zstd, u-boot-tools and others.
- Make Go opt-in via --with-go rather than forced on arm64.
- Add -y/--yes, -n/--dry-run and -h/--help; allow running as root.
prepare-openwrt.sh
- Split read-only discovery from mutation. Versions are resolved over
git ls-remote before anything is moved, so aborting at the prompt
leaves the helper checkout untouched.
- Resume an interrupted first run instead of failing forever: a root
with .git but no source tree was previously unrecoverable without a
manual rm -rf. Also restore the worktree when HEAD already points at
the target ref, where checkout is a no-op.
- Detect the relocated layout by content rather than directory name, so
renaming the root no longer triggers a second, nested relocation.
- Replace the staged in-place relocation with a resumable content move,
removing the window that could strand the checkout in a hidden dir.
- Filter release candidates before sorting; sort -V orders v25.12.0-rc1
after v25.12.0, so the newest stable tag could be an rc.
- Follow upstream: snapshots use main (master as fallback) and the dead
-SNAPSHOT tag lookup is gone.
- Use a partial clone (--filter=blob:none) by default.
- Guard version switches on a dirty tree and back up .config first.
- Add /helper/ to .git/info/exclude and warn that git clean -xdff still
deletes it, since -x bypasses ignore rules by design.
- Leave a symlink at the old checkout path so shells and editors whose
working directory still points there keep working.
- Add --stable/--branch/--snapshot plus -y, -n, --force, --full-clone,
--allow-rc, --root, --skip-feeds, --skip-defconfig, --repo-url and
--no-compat-link.
