Weimarnetz Image Builds

We use github actions to build images for router here. Everything regarding images is in the assemble directory.

The builds are based on OpenWrt ImageBuilder and OpenWrt SDK. Both things we build in our firmware repository at https://github.com/weimarnetz/firmware and upload those to our image server. So we can support multiple OpenWrt builds or versions.

Routers we want to build images for are defined in the profiles directory. It is possible to add a specific suffix (e.g. 4MB) or add device specific packages. The following format must be used: <profile_name>:<suffix>;<device packages>.

Device packages must be space separated, prepend a - if you don't want a package to be installed.

In the packagelist repository you can configure packages that are globally installed. The suffixes after _ correspond to the suffixes in the profiles directory. It is possible to define packages for every OpenWrt Build we support.

Currently we build packages for OpenWrt 24.10 and OpenWrt 25.12.

Package Versioning

Every package must define PKG_VERSION and PKG_RELEASE in its Makefile:

PKG_VERSION:=1.2.0
PKG_RELEASE:=1

• PKG_VERSION is the semantic version of the package. Bump it when the package content changes.
• PKG_RELEASE is the packaging release counter. Bump it for packaging-only changes (e.g. dependency adjustments) and reset it to 1 when PKG_VERSION is incremented.

A CI check on pull requests verifies that at least one of these values was incremented when package files are modified. The check must pass before the PR can be merged.

Releases and Feeds

The weimarnetz-tng branch is the stable branch. All development happens in feature branches and is merged via pull requests.

• Stable feed: Packages are built and uploaded automatically when a PR is merged into weimarnetz-tng.
• Testing feed: Any branch can be built into the testing feed by manually triggering the build workflow via Actions → Weimarnetz Package Build → Run workflow.

Devices can subscribe to either feed:
