base-files: sysupgrade: -u option was broken with apk

2026-04-12T23:27:55Z

base-files: MAJOR/MINOR not sequential, use DISKSEQ instead

2026-04-03T18:40:49Z

Export the unique, monotonic DISKSEQ sequence drive number instead of its major/minor numbers to identify the boot disk and directly match the partition in export_partdevice with PARTN. The MINOR blockdevice numbers are not guaranteed sequential across disks, it can happen that disks enumerate before their partitions are probed, resulting in interleaved MINOR numbers breaking the partition offset calculation: major minor #blocks name 259 0 250059096 nvme0n1 259 2 8192 nvme0n1p1 259 3 491520 nvme0n1p2 259 4 239 nvme0n1p128 259 1 250059096 nvme1n1 259 5 250057728 nvme1n1p1 Signed-off-by: Clemens Hopfer Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/18962 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

base-files: sysupgrade: avoid cat missing conffiles_static

2026-03-19T16:50:12Z

If the user removes all /lib/apk/packages/*.conffiles* files to prevent sysupgrade from preserving configuration, the glob no longer matches and sysupgrade ends up calling cat on a non-existent path: cat: can't open '/lib/apk/packages/*.conffiles_static': No such file or directory Fix this by using find cmd.

base-files: avoid rm error messages in failsafe_wait

2026-03-04T11:54:16Z

The fs_wait_for_key function runs multiple background processes that all try to delete the same temporary file ($keypress_wait) when they exit. This creates a race condition where one process successfully deletes the file while others fail with ENOENT. Busybox rm only suppresses "file not found" errors during the initial lstat() check, not during the actual unlink() call. This causes error messages in the boot log even with rm -f: rm: can't remove '/tmp/tmp.hKjPDH': No such file or directory Fixed by redirecting stderr to /dev/null for rm calls in concurrent contexts. This change does not affect functionality and only avoids confusing log output during boot.

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
