Sebastian Kemper f58d323534 build: allow file modes per binary package
Currently the global variable PKG_FILE_MODES is used for all ipkg
creations. This works for Makefiles which output a single package, or
variants of a single package.

But if a Makefile outputs multiple packages that each contain different
files, setting PKG_FILE_MODES causes build failure when any of the files
in the variable do not exist in the folder that is currently being
packaged.

Example:

/openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin/fakeroot -l /openwrt/staging_dir/host/lib/libfakeroot.so -f /openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin/faked /openwrt/scripts/ipkg-build -m "/usr/lib/mariadb/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir:root:376:0750" /openwrt/build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/mariadb-10.4.13/ipkg-mips_24kc/mariadb-server-plugin-disks /openwrt/bin/packages/mips_24kc/packages
+chown: cannot access '/openwrt/build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/mariadb-10.4.13/ipkg-mips_24kc/mariadb-server-plugin-disks//usr/lib/mariadb/plugin/auth_pam_tool_dir': No such file or directory

This commit changes the file mode handling a bit. The file mode can now
be set either globally via PKG_FILE_MODES (no behavior change) or on a
per-package basis via FILE_MODES. This way specific file modes can be
used for any particular package.

This behavior is already used for other OpenWrt variables, hence it is
familiar:

PKG_MAINTAINER vs MAINTAINER
PKG_SOURCE_SUBDIR vs SUBDIR
PKG_LICENSE vs LICENSE
...

README.md

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
