meta ImageBuilder (Called by ./build)

Instead of downloading (and updating) ImageBuilders manually, this script does all the work. Automatically download ImageBuilder and create desired image. Extra variables like $PACKAGES are forwarded to the ImageBuilder make call.

Usage

Build ar71xx/generic/tl-wr710n-v2.1 with latest (17.01.4) release:

PROFILE="tl-wr710n-v2.1" TARGET="ar71xx" SUBTARGET="generic" ./meta

Build latest snapshot of the same target/profile combo (both work):

PROFILE="tl-wr710n-v2.1" RELEASE=snapshots TARGET="ar71xx" SUBTARGET="generic" ./meta

Custom repositories

To support other distributions like LibreMesh which is based on OpenWrt but which use additional repositories, it is possible to replace the repositories.conf with a custom version.

The massmesh packages repository (https://download.massmesh.org) is already included automatically.

You may setup extra repositories exporting the REPOS variable. Example:

export REPOS="""src/gz libremesh http://repo.libremesh.org/releases/{{ version }}/packages/{{ pkg_arch }}/libremesh
src/gz libremap http://repo.libremesh.org/releases/{{ version }}/packages/{{ pkg_arch }}/libremap
src/gz limeui http://repo.libremesh.org/releases/{{ version }}/packages/{{ pkg_arch }}/limeui
src/gz lm_routing http://repo.libremesh.org/releases/{{ version }}/packages/{{ pkg_arch }}/routing
src/gz lm_profiles http://repo.libremesh.org/network-profiles/"""

The following variables are automatically replaced:

• {{ version }} Custom version
• {{ ib_version }} OpenWrt ImageBuilder version
• {{ pkg_arch }} Automatically determined package architecture
• {{ target }}
• {{ subtarget }}
