At the moment, we don't have a good guideline for package-specific
configuration, but it seems like a good idea not to split configuration
into too many tiny pages, especially for packages that aren't commonly
selected explicitly.
Some uncommon configuration is dropped from the example site.conf to remove
clutter.
This setting allows to enforce manually setting a hostname.
In the initial configuration, the hostname field is now left empty; when
setting the hostname is not enforced, the default hostname is shown as the
field placeholder.
Fixes#1139
We must ensure that each node becomes IGMP/MLD querier for its local
clients; having only a single querier for the whole mesh is generally
unreliable, leading to frequent "IGMP/MLD querier appeared/disappeared"
messages from batman-adv and unreliable snooping.
In smaller meshes it might be interesting only segment querier domains, but
allow membership reports to pass through the mesh, in order to support
snooping switches outside the mesh without special configuration. A
site.conf switch is provided to control this behaviour.
Fixes#1320
This is currently only implemented in the gluon-mesh-vpn-fastd
package.
Advertising the public key may be deemed problematic when
your threat-model involves protecting the nodes privacy
from tunnel traffic correlation by onlink observers.
It can be enabled by setting site.mesh_vpn.fastd.pubkey_privacy
to `false`.
This package drops all incoming router advertisements except for the
default router with the best metric according to B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced.
Note that advertisements originating from the node itself (for example
via gluon-radvd) are not affected.
Adding the fact that GLUON_RELEASE is needed with 'make manifest'
if it is used with 'make'.
This fact was mentioned in the v2017.1 release notes but is not (clearly)
mentioned inside other parts of the documentation.

Adding hints that the next_node name should contain a dot to avoid (mobile) browsers interpreting "nextnode" as searchphrase. Also setting it to an fqdn helps when clients use static dns servers.
To reduce the number of packages that need to be listed in
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES, this adds a new variable GLUON_FEATURES. Sets of
packages are enabled automatically based on the combination of listed
feature flags.
Site-specified package feeds can provide their own feature flag
definitions.
As PROVIDES can be used to replace real packages now, we don't need the
virtual packages as workaround anymore. This also means that the providing
packages don't need to be added to site.mk explicitly anymore when the
default provider is used.
