Currently, replacing a package available in openwrt.git requires modifications in openwrt.git, or requires duplicating the package in a feed but with a different name, which causes all kind of problems related to dependencies (all packages selecting it would have to be modified accordingly to select the new package). With this change, if a package with the same name is present both in feeds/ and package/ folders, the one in feeds/ can override the one in package/, both in the menuconfig and during the build, by passing the "-f" option to "./scripts/feeds install" This mechanism is particularly useful for vendor tree, or in general for application which needs to replace one particular package which exists within openwrt.git by a custom/newer version.

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution. Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated configuration for the toolchain and firmware. You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into package/feeds/. Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image. Simply running "make" will build your firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications. You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded system via tftp. The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it. To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system. Sunshine! Your OpenWrt Project http://openwrt.org
