OpenWrt 15.05.1 "Chaos Calmer" was released more than a year ago. I haven't seen many updates. I wonder if there's an update channel that I'm missing.
Specifically, here is where all updates are coming from: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/ https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/ge...
No updates since March 2016.
EDIT: Has development has moved to the LEDE project? I don't understand what's happening in the OpenWRT/LEDE split. There appears to be a fairly clean upgrade path, though: https://forum.lede-project.org/t/upgrade-from-openwrt-to-lede-does-the-config-compatible/6252 https://forum.lede-project.org/t/upgrade-from-openwrt-to-led...
- e12e 9y agoYes, you probably want Lede, not OpenWRT or dd-wrt. I used lede to flash some old routers last year, and on the whole the experience was similar to my last interaction with OpenWRT only better (more evolved). https://lede-project.org/start https://lede-project.org/start
- gurrone 9y agoI would like to add that you can usually in place upgrade from OpenWRT to LEDE. Though making a config backup and a backup of the list of additional packages you installed is highly recommended. Beside of that just flash and reinstall all additional packages.
- hathawsh 9y agoUpgrading to LEDE worked flawlessly. Thanks guys!
- gurrone 9y agoMight be interesting for some of you, Hauke from LEDE posted a few insides over at LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/735316/ https://lwn.net/Articles/735316/ https://lwn.net/Articles/735317/ https://lwn.net/Articles/735317/ tl;dr updated packages of dnsmasq are currently building and should be available soon
- pantalaimon 9y agoSimilar to the OpenOffice/LibreOffice and ownCloud/NextCloud split it seems. Although LEDE and OpenWRT expressed interest to re-merge.
