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. In this patch, the actual checks are implemented into fwtool_check_image(): If an incompatible change is introduced, one can increase either the minor version (1.0->1.1) or the major version (1.0->2.0). Minor version increment: This will still allow sysupgrade, but require to reset config (-n or SAVE_CONFIG=0). If sysupgrade is called without -n, a corresponding message will be printed. If sysupgrade is called with -n, it will just pass, with supported devices being checked as usual. (Which will allow us to add back SUPPORTED_DEVICES for many cases.) Major version increment: This is meant for potential (rare) cases where sysupgrade is not possible at all, because it would break the device. In this case, a warning will be printed, and -n won't help. If image check fails because of one of the versions parts not matching, the content of DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE is printed in addition to the generic message (if set). For both cases, upgrade can still be forced with -F as usual. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de> |
