treewide: use interface roles as basis for network configuration
With the new role-based interface configuration, it would be better to
rename the wan/wan6 interfaces to uplink/uplink6, but that would cause
unnecessary churn for the firewall configuration, so it is left for a
later update.

As all interfaces with the 'uplink' role are in the br-wan bridge, it is
not possible to assign these to the 'mesh' role independently - instead,
br-wan is added as a mesh interface as soon as a single interface has
both the 'uplink' and 'mesh' roles. The UCI section for this
configuration is now called 'mesh_uplink' instead of 'mesh_wan'.

For all interfaces that have the 'mesh', but not the 'uplink' role a
second configuration 'mesh_other' is created. If there is more than one
such interface, all these interfaces are bridged as well (creating a
bridge 'br-mesh_other'). This replaces the 'mesh_lan' section with its
optional 'br-mesh_lan' bridge, but can also include interfaces that were
not considered "LAN" when interfaces roles are modified (via site.conf
or manually).

Build Gluon License GitHub release (latest SemVer)

Gluon

Gluon is a firmware framework to build preconfigured OpenWrt images for public mesh networks.

Getting started

We have a huge amount of documentation over at https://gluon.readthedocs.io/.

If you're new to Gluon and ready to get your feet wet, have a look at the Getting Started Guide.

Gluon's developers frequent an IRC chatroom at #gluon on hackint. There is also a webchat that allows for uncomplicated access from within your browser. This channel is also available as a bridged Matrix Room at #gluon:hackint.org.

Issues & Feature requests

Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.

We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.

Use a release!

Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes! Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running git tag and switch to one by running git checkout v2021.1 && make update.

If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes might break eventually.
