Eric Luehrsen 9525743c07 dnsmasq: make DHCPv6 viable for standalone dnsmasq install
dnsmasq has sufficient services to meet the needs of DHCP
and RA with IP6 for single router router users. This is
the most common use for consumer routers. Its reenforced
as most ISP tend to only DHCP-PD /64. dnsmasq has year
over year demonstrated great flexibility in its option
set, and support for off-standard DHCP clients.

odhcpd has enhanced capabilities focused on IP6 such
as DHCP/RA relay and NDP proxy. However, it is not as
flexible in its option set. odhcpd is not as forgiving
with off-standard DHCP clients. Some points may represent
a long term TODO list, but it is the state currently.

These changes make any such combination possible. Already
odhcpd can be set as the main dhcp server. Now odhcpd
can be removed or disabled and dnsmasq will take over
if DHCPv6 compiled in. The existing DHCPv6 and RA UCI
are translated into dnsmasq.conf. The changes focus on
'--dhcp-range', '--dhcp-host', and '--dhcp-options'.

DHCP host ID is least 16 bits [::1000-::FFFF], but
leaves low range for typical infrastructure assignments.
dnsmasq accepts DHCPv6 options in the tranditional
'--dhcp-option' put they must be prefixed 'option6:'.
dnsmasq will also discover SLAAC DNS entries from DHCPv4
clients MAC, and confirm with a ping at least renew.

Long term TODO include improving use of dnsmasq relay
options for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 in parallel. It would also
be possible to preconfigure DHCP-PD in host-with-options
records for fixed infrastructure.

README

This is the buildsystem for the LEDE Linux distribution.

Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.

Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
package/feeds/.

Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.

Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
