base-files: correct global DHCP DUID generation

2025-11-08T15:30:37Z

The old command generates an often incorrect variable length UUID instead of a fixed 16-octet hex string. Ref: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8415#section-11.5 Signed-off-by: Alice H.

base-files: generate a global DHCP DUID

2025-10-19T17:46:22Z

odhcp6c and odhcpd currently generate custom DUIDS on a per-interface basis using the MAC address of the given interface. This is contrary to how DUIDs are meant to be used, as the client identifier will vary from interface to interface, while it is meant to remain stable for a given host, no matter how the network hardware changes (see RFC8415, §11). The same problem exists in odhcpd, which also generates server-side DUIDs on a per-interface basis. In order to support a stable per-device DUID, generate one on first boot and store it via uci. Currently, a DUID-UUID style clientid is generated. This is mostly meant as an RFC, and we might consider using a different kind of DUID instead (DUID-LLT, DUID-EN). One drawback is that this will typically change the DUID used on existing OpenWrt devices when upgrading to a new release. However, that seems unavoidable and is a one-time pain in order to have stable DUIDs (and in many cases, it shouldn't cause any issues). v2: move the uci cfg generation outside of an IPv6-only block since this is relevant to the DHCPv4 client as well Signed-off-by: David Härdeman Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/20359 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

base-files: add ucidef_set_interface_netdev_range function

2025-10-06T17:06:26Z

The ucidef_set_interface* functions can be used to add network interfaces to a default network configuration. Such network interfaces often have the same base interface name (e.g., eth* or lan*). On devices with many network ports, adding all ports to the default config can become inconvenient. This commit adds a new uci function ucidef_set_interface_netdev_range, which adds network interfaces for a specific port range to a given OpenWrt interface. The first parameter is the OpenWrt interface, the second is the base interface name, the third is the port start, and the fourth is the port end range.

base-files: commit and sync before removing defaults script.

2025-10-04T18:49:21Z

Improve the resilence against power failures during boot-up by trying to sync the file system before removing the script. The order of the operations are important. Signed-off-by: Markus Gothe Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/20248 Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens

base-files: find_mmc_part: Silence error when no MMC exists

2025-07-27T16:08:44Z

When running find_mmc_part on a system without MMC or when the given root device does not exist, an error message is printed to stderr. grep: /sys/block/mmcblk*/mmcblk*p*/uevent: No such file or directory Silence this error message. Since find_mmc_part is mostly used to get block devices of MMC partitions and the negative result (partion not found) is checked for by the caller, the error message can be silenced without causing any negative impact.

base-files: introduce a function to get kernel version number

2025-07-14T20:30:20Z

A new function "get_linux_version()" to normalize and print the kernel version as an integer. In some migration scripts, it is useful for checking the Linux kernel version. Signed-off-by: Shiji Yang Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/19172 Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens

base-files: handle packages alternatives when apk removes packages

2025-06-23T07:39:12Z

On commit 3010ab8 ("base-files: add update_alternatives function") was implemented the function to handle ALTERNATIVES when using APK (OPKG handle it internally) but in commit bcc6415 ("base-files: add compatibility for APK and OPKG") was only called when adding a package, so call it also when removing packages. While we are here, check for a more specific *.alternatives files instead of *.list, and remove redundant "filelist" variable definition.
