batctl: fix a typo and indent consistently

2026-08-18T06:39:25Z

"managment" is user visible in the description of all three variants. The MAKE_VARS and MAKE_FLAGS continuation lines were indented with spaces while every other multi-line list in the file uses a tab. Signed-off-by: Josef Schlehofer Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5

batctl: pass the feature switches directly

2026-08-18T06:39:25Z

The CONFIG_* switches were assembled into a newline separated string and smuggled to the build through a shell variable via shexport, so the Makefile read: MAKE_FLAGS += $$$$$(call shvar,batctl_config) They can simply be listed on the make command line instead. The result is identical, since later assignments on the command line override earlier ones, exactly as the "n first, then y" order of the old string relied on. The longest variant expands to 96 assignments, about 2 KB, so there is no length concern that would justify the indirection. Signed-off-by: Josef Schlehofer Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5

batctl: drop the redundant PKG_BUILD_DIR override

2026-08-18T06:39:25Z

PKG_BUILD_DIR was set to exactly the value package.mk derives by default for a package with build variants, so the override had no effect. Signed-off-by: Josef Schlehofer Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5

batctl: add new package

2026-08-18T06:39:25Z

batctl is the user space configuration and debugging tool for the B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced kernel module. It is packaged in three variants (tiny, default, full) with different sets of subcommands. Moved from the openwrt/routing feed, as discussed in https://github.com/openwrt/routing/issues/184. The one deviation from the feed copy is SUBMENU:=Wireless, which the feed copy does not set at all: without it the three variants sit ungrouped at the top of the Network menu. Wireless keeps them next to mesh11sd and alfred, which move across with the same value. A dedicated Mesh submenu is the better home for all three and is worth adding once enough of the mesh packages have landed to justify it. Signed-off-by: Josef Schlehofer Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5
