Various space saving measures to make all targets build successfully again:

  • Remove babeld
  • Switch from tcpdump to tcpdump-mini
  • Make it possible to select packages only for BSPs with large flashes
  • Remove bmon from ath79
  • Disable unused bird protocols
  • Increase squashfs block size for ath79
  • Remove uclient-fetch
  • Disable various unnecessary busybox and libcurl features

The most critical devices are the TP-Link Archer C60 v1 and v2. There require both ath9k and ath10k (+firmware) for operation. Additionally, the v2 variant has a slightly different partition layout, so the available space is ~100KiB smaller.

6b80ebcc79 Create fff-extra package for devices with large flash 
Devices with large flash can hold more packages and tools to improve
user experience. Create an additional package which can be used to
select packages only on targets with large flash (currently >= 16 MiB).

9613804450 layer3: move bmon to fff-extra 
Bmon takes up a lot of disk space, but is not essential for operation.
Move it to fff-extra.

e559f5c8b9 Disable unused bird protocols 
On a typical Freifunk router, only a small subset of bird protocols
is in use. Disable unused bird protocols to save disk space.

d34d236b02 ath79: use bigger squashfs block size 
A bigger squashfs block size improves compression ratio. The improved
compression ratio is necessary for the Archer C60 devices (v1 + v2)
because they include large wifi drivers.
