From 735de53b2aae9be03611715699bf58dff44e8eff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Schmutzler Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2020 19:24:11 +0200 Subject: base-files: add support for compat_version on device We regularly encounter the situation that devices are subject to changes that will make them incompatible to previous versions. Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these cases, as this only helps after a rename. To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility version for devices. To complement the DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION set for the image to be flashed, this implements a compat_version on the device, so it will have something to compare with the image. The only viable way to achieve this seems to be via board.d files, i.e. this is technically adding a compat version for the device's config. Like for the network setup, this will set up a command ucidef_set_compat_version to set the compat_version in board.d. This will then add a string to /etc/board.json, which will be translated into uci system config by bin/config_generate. By this, the compat_version, being a version of the config, will also be exposed to the user. As with DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION, missing uci entry will be assumed as compat_version "1.0", so we only need to add this if a device needs to be bumped, e.g. ucidef_set_compat_version "1.1" Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler --- package/base-files/files/lib/functions/uci-defaults.sh | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'package/base-files/files/lib') diff --git a/package/base-files/files/lib/functions/uci-defaults.sh b/package/base-files/files/lib/functions/uci-defaults.sh index 12b900031d..27a409fe3b 100755 --- a/package/base-files/files/lib/functions/uci-defaults.sh +++ b/package/base-files/files/lib/functions/uci-defaults.sh @@ -68,6 +68,12 @@ ucidef_set_model_name() { json_select .. } +ucidef_set_compat_version() { + json_select_object system + json_add_string compat_version "${1:-1.0}" + json_select .. +} + ucidef_set_interface_lan() { ucidef_set_interface "lan" ifname "$1" protocol "${2:-static}" } -- cgit v1.2.3
