The odu-gpiotool is a small script created by roh to selectively reset
individual peripherals of the system by the administrator. It originates
from ticket https://projects.sysmocom.de/ortelius/issues/655
We use the new sysfs file to obtain the board version number and
configure the port swapping accordingly. If the board_version sysfs
attribute is not present, we default to v2.
We also integrate resetting the hub chip from within this tool right
befeore writing the new register values via I2C.
[hfreyther: We assume that the user might install OpenVPN with
a different priority but that it will always be available in the
runlevel two (e.g. even if the user changed the default runlevel)]

Similiae to the layer code we simplify the machine include to work
for all versions of a 1.5 release. Poky 1.5.4 has been released and
we don't want to continue to play this game.
I have no idea who creates the /run/openvpn directory on Debian.
The path is not in a tmpfiles.d and I don't see the generator
creating it or the service file indicating that it needs to be
created. Place the file with openvpn.NAME.status into the /run
directory which appears to work on the device.
We want to use systemd for managing the lifetime of OpenVPN. Take
the debian generator (which should work with busybox ash) and the
openvpn.service (to inhibit the sysvinit script) and the target
file and install it.
On systems that have ran "update-rc.d openvpn defaults" one need
to manually execute a systemctl enable openvpn.service. This is
not done through a post-inst script and I am not sure if we should
do it. This means there is a danger of ending with a unit that
doesn't start OpenVPN automatically after upgrade!
The scripts/packages have not been tested on a device yet.
We should use a more recent version of the OpenVPN client. Import
it from the meta-networking layer like we did before. The sysvinit
script has just minor whitespace differences and wasn't imported.
We need to test opkg upgrades of OpenVPN through the VPN. We don't
want to kill the tunnel on such upgrade.
One might need to erase the environment but with a default
environment barebox will now send a LLDP during boot up. This
way we can see if a device is on a local link or not.

* split out rtl-nic firmware from the big
linux-firmware package
[hfreyther: For whatever reasons the NIC works without
additional firmware as well. I couldn't see in the driver
source when that is the case and which features are missing]
Fixes: SYS#732
[hfreyther: I removed the MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS as applications
that use the symlinks should rdepend on the package]
[hfreyther: Changed mismatch of tabs/spaces]
We want to enable the watchdog in the bootloader already and
for this to be failsafe we need to have a kernel that can boot
and get ethernet without any additional modules. Now systemd
would not be able to trigger the watchdog and the system would
reboot within 60 seconds. I am not sure how the kernel upgrade
will go and we need to try this.

We would leak all the results for all the scans. At some point in
time the kernel OOM would kick-in and kill the process. Enable
building with -ggdb3 for debug symbols and remmeber the old list
head so we can free it.

The notion of "task" has been deprecated for a long time because
the word is used for different things. The new word is "packagegroup"
which describes the usage of "task-*" in a more obvious way. Dora
and master builds can fully use packagegroup-* for everything and
for edison we would need to spend some time to add a provides for
packagegroup-* to the task- group. I don't intend to work on the
edison part right now.
We need a jffs2/ubi depending on the age of the hardware and
maybe a tar.bz2 so we can easily inspect an image without
playing with mtdram. We almost never need a ubifs and certainly
not a cpio.
The DISTRO_FEATURES_INITMAN variable has been removed, use
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager which is still present. We have
already defined the later in our poky builds
systemd-compat-units does not install any files anymore and
the machineid and other scripts are gone. We want to continue
to install the alignment file though.
This has not been tested on dora systemd yet.
In dora there is no autotools-brokensep bbclass. So let's just
set the build directory to the source directory ourselves. I have
not built the package for dora though/
Poky dizzy is more strict with -I/usr/include and the old
tcpdump could pick-up "/usr/bin/pcap-config" from the host
and fail. Just upgrade to a newer version of tcpdump and be
done with it.
* the entry "option subnet" takes the
subnet mask not the subnet address,
while the busybox dhcp-client was
fine with it, the isc-dhcp-client complained with
Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "10.23.24.113/10.23.24.0".
* bump the PRINC
[holger: Depending on some global settings /var/log will be a
symlink to "volatile". But when we log to a file we want it to
be persistent. So make sure /var/log is not pointing to volatile
but a real directory]
The concept of directdisk image is overhauled as we are now
having a initramfs that can flash the next image through USB.
The dedicated E1/IP images are rarely to never used and did
probably bit-rot. For the next time we provide such a system
we can simply (write a script to) install the additional feed.
