build: use STAGING_DIR for special APK package versions

2026-02-01T10:16:54Z

Removing tmp/ after having built base-files or toolchain currently breaks rootfs generation: $ rm -rf tmp $ make V=w ... make[2] package/install cat: .../openwrt/tmp/base-files.version: No such file or directory cat: .../openwrt/openwrt/tmp/libc.version: No such file or directory ERROR: 'base-files=' is not a valid world dependency, format is name(@tag)([<>~=]version) make[2]: *** [package/Makefile:100: package/install] Error 99 The only way to recover from here is to clean toolchain and base-files via $ make package/{base-files,toolchain}/clean tmp is supposed to be ephemeral, so clearing it is an expected action, which normally just triggers a regeneration of all files there. Fix this by moving the version files to $(STAGING_DIR).

base-files: remove ftp user and group

2026-01-24T19:32:53Z

Any ftpd package such as vsftpd or atftpd (are there others?) should create their own unprivileged user. Both of the aforementioned packages do not even use this ftp user and run as root. That should be addressed in separate commits. Signed-off-by: John Audia Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/19418 Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens

base-files: introduce a function to generate IAID

2026-01-14T17:07:27Z

Add new function "network_generate_iface_iaid()" to generate a stable IAID from an interface name. Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21489 Signed-off-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas

base-files: uci-defaults: migrate time zonename on upgrade

2026-01-11T18:12:41Z

Timezone names no longer allow spaces, so older installations upgrading to new will have their timezone reset to UTC. For example, on 24.10: $ uci get system.@system[0].zonename America/Los Angeles After upgrade to 25.12: $ uci get system.@system[0].zonename UTC Add a migration script to edit zonename on first boot.

base-files: fix default_postinst clearing luci cache

2025-12-26T19:02:59Z

The path to the LuCI index cache file has changed to /tmp/luci-indexcache.*.json since OpenWrt 22.03. Update functions.sh to align with luci.mk. Signed-off-by: Liangbin Lian Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21280 Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens

image: add CONFIG_EXTRA_IMAGE_NAME

2025-12-12T22:06:06Z

This allows an optional tag to be put in the .config file which is included in the filename of the resulting images, so it's easier to build images with different functionality for the same target hardware.

base-files: always generate default DUID

2025-12-11T06:39:34Z

The previous logic was copied from 12_network-generate-ula, but fails to account for upgrades where the "auto" value isn't set (it is set by base-files/files/bin/config_generate). Fix this to always set the default duid if it isn't set. Also, rename the file to better reflect what it does.

base-files: board_detect: make resilient against power-cuts

2025-11-25T20:51:25Z

If board_detect is interrupted by cutting power on first boot, board.json might only be half-way written and the file will not be written again correctly on subsequent boots. Write to a temporary file first, then rename. Since a rename on the same file system is an atomic operation, it ensures that either /etc/board.json does not exist or that the complete file exists.
