As package size changes are a continuous topic on the mailing list this scripts helps developers to compare their local package modifications against latest upstream. The script downloads the latest package indexes based on env variables or the `.config` file. The script compares the actual installed size (data.tar.gz) or the IPK package size. An example output is found below: ``` user@dawn:~/src/openwrt/openwrt$ ./scripts/size_compare.sh Compare packages of ath79/tiny/mips_24kc: dropbear busybox iw ubus Checking configuration difference % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 554 100 554 0 0 336 0 0:00:01 0:00:01 --:--:-- 336 --- start config diff --- --- /tmp/config.DDjwVh-LOCAL 2020-11-23 09:08:28.913203068 -1000 +++ /tmp/config.DDjwVh-UPSTREAM 2020-11-23 09:08:36.369240887 -1000 @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ +CONFIG_ALL_KMODS=y +CONFIG_ALL_NONSHARED=y CONFIG_AUTOREBUILD=y +CONFIG_AUTOREMOVE=y --- 8< --- CONFIG_BINARY_FOLDER="" +CONFIG_BUILDBOT=y +CONFIG_TARGET_ALL_PROFILES=y CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_DIR="" CONFIG_USE_SSTRIP=y CONFIG_USE_UCLIBCXX=y --- end config diff --- Checking installed size Fetching latest package indexes... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 80634 100 80634 0 0 33499 0 0:00:02 0:00:02 --:--:-- 33485 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 54082 100 54082 0 0 24252 0 0:00:02 0:00:02 --:--:-- 24252 Comparing package sizes...

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg
. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.
-
OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.
-
