Mesh11sd autonomously manages all aspects of an 802.11s mesh
network, with dynamic mesh parameters across all nodes and point to
multi-point vxlan tunneling.
Moved from the openwrt/routing feed, as discussed in
https://github.com/openwrt/routing/issues/184.
Carries three backports on top of the routing feed's copy, all from
the 7.2.0 development cycle and all pointed out by upstream:
-
443cdb4c handles the informational options before get_current_setup()
runs. The setup pass waits for br-lan through wait_for_interface(),
so on a host without that bridge "mesh11sd -v" took the full
interface_timeout, ten seconds by default. That is invisible on a
running router and fatal in the package CI, which kills each version
probe after ten seconds.
-
9d18091f makes the script header agree with the LICENSE file the
project ships. It claimed GPL version 3 or later while the file is
GPL version 2, so PKG_LICENSE follows it to GPL-2.0-or-later.
-
d0db5353 fixes a typo in get_current_setup(): the length came from
$apmon_cgi_dir, which is never set, so strlen was always 0 and the
trailing slash check read the wrong character.
The submenu is Mesh rather than the Network top level the feed copy
used; the other mesh packages follow once the move from the routing
feed is complete.

+ Mesh11sd autonomously manages all aspects of an 802.11s mesh network.
+ It acts as a service daemon.
+ Mesh parameters are dynamically set across all nodes.
+ Point to multi-point vxlan tunneling is provided by default.
+ Custom vlan trunking over the vxlan tunnel is fully supported.
+ Cabled sections of backhaul are fully supported.
+ Access Point usage data is collected in a central database.
+ A command line interface is provided for many functions.
+ An optional Customer/Client Premises Equipment (CPE) mode is provided
+ CPE mode greatly simplifies rollout of community WISP projects.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix - do not run get_current_setup until after version
+ argument
+
+get_current_setup() runs before any argument is parsed, so mesh11sd -v
+and mesh11sd -h collect the whole runtime environment first. That
+includes refresh_bridgemac(), which calls wait_for_interface() for
+br-lan; when that interface is not up, the poll loop runs for the full
+interface_timeout, ten seconds by default.
+
+On a running router br-lan is up, the loop exits on its first iteration
+and the delay is invisible. It shows up wherever the interface is absent
+or still coming up, such as the OpenWrt package CI, which probes every
+installed executable for its version with a ten second timeout.
+
+Handle the informational options first and exit, then run the setup for
+the options that need it.
