OpenWrt 24.10 plans (rebase on top of main and tag?)

[Hauke Mehrtens]

Hi,

We just had a meeting and talked about the OpenWrt 24.10 release.

We plan to use opkg in the OpenWrt 24.10 release. We will deactivate the 
USE_APK switch to prevent users from using apk.

We plan to tag and build OpenWrt v24.10.0-rc1 this week.

Petr set up the build infrastructure including the image signing. Thanks 
for doing this.

There are some PRs to backport stuff on github:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Arelease%2F24.10


I would prefer if we rebase OpenWrt 24.10 branch on top of main again 
because we haven't done much testing on 24.10 specifically and there are 
not many bigger changes in main. Probably half of the changes done in 
the last month were already backported or are proposed as backports.

This would be my quick proposal:
https://github.com/hauke/openwrt/commits/openwrt-24.10-rebased/

The biggest changes in main which are not in 24.10:
  * many fixes for APK, they could have broken some opkg features
   * We should revert the setting making APK default and hide the option
  * addition of stm32 target, should be mostly independent
  * Multiple boards added

My timeline would be.
Rebase OpenWrt 24.10 on Thursday
tag OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc1 on Sunday if the builds are looking fine

If we do not want to rebase I will probably tag on Friday or Sunday.

Please answer to this mail. What do you think about this proposal. Do 
you see any problems with the rebase?

Hauke
