v2: In contrast to the last patches, this is now built on top of ssh
only, without using e.g. 9pfs. Furthermore it works also with
arbitary remote hosts on any target/architecture. Also the
scripts were renamed and moved to /scripts.
The aim of this commit is to allow fast rebuild cycles during the
development of gluon packages.
Currently the following workflow can be used:
# start a local qemu instance
scripts/run_qemu.sh output/images/factory/[...].img
# do your changes in the file you want to patch
vi package/gluon-ebtables/files/etc/init.d/gluon-ebtables
# rebuild and update the package
scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/
# test your changes
...
# do more changes
...
# rebuild and update the package
scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/
# test your changes
...
(and so on...)
Implementation details:
- Currently this is based on ssh/scp.
- Opkg is used to install/update the packages in the remote machine.
Benefits:
- This works with compiled and non-compiled packages.
- This works with native OpenWrt and Gluon packages.
- This even performs the check_site.lua checks as they are integrated
as post_install scripts into the openwrt package.
- It works for all architectures/targets.
