* base-files: add option to make /var persistent In OpenWrt, /var is symlinked to /tmp by default. This is done to reduce the amount of writes to the flash chip, which often have not the greatest durability. As a result, things like DHCP or UPnP lease files, are not persistent across reboots. Since OpenWrt can run on devices with more durable storage, it makes sense to have an option for a persistent /var. Add an option to make /var persistent. When enabled, /var will no longer be symlinked to /tmp, but /var/run will be symlink to /tmp/run, as it should contains only files that should not be kept during reboot. The option is off by default, to maintain the current behaviour. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be> * base-files: fix option to make /var persistent The option was initially named TARGET_ROOTFS_LN_VAR_TMP, and the check was correct. When renaming the option to something more suitable, the check was changed to check for n, but when an option is not set, it's not n but empty. This results in the check always evaluating to false. Fix the check by checking for y with ifneq.

Welcome to Lean's git source of OpenWrt and packages
How to build your Openwrt firmware.
Note:
-
DO NOT USE root USER FOR COMPILING!!!
-
Users within China should prepare proxy before building.
-
Web admin panel default IP is 192.168.1.1 and default password is "password".
Let's start!
-
First, install Ubuntu 64bit (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x86 is recommended).
-
Run
sudo apt-get update
in the terminal, and then runsudo apt-get -y install build-essential asciidoc binutils bzip2 gawk gettext git libncurses5-dev libz-dev patch python3 python2.7 unzip zlib1g-dev lib32gcc1 libc6-dev-i386 subversion flex uglifyjs git-core gcc-multilib p7zip p7zip-full msmtp libssl-dev texinfo libglib2.0-dev xmlto qemu-utils upx libelf-dev autoconf automake libtool autopoint device-tree-compiler g++-multilib antlr3 gperf wget curl swig rsync
-
Run
git clone https://github.com/coolsnowwolf/lede
to clone the source code, and thencd lede
to enter the directory -
./scripts/feeds update -a ./scripts/feeds install -a make menuconfig
-
Run
make -j8 download V=s
to download libraries and dependencies (user in China should use global proxy when possible) -
Run
make -j1 V=s
(integer following -j is the thread count, single-thread is recommended for the first build) to start building your firmware.
This source code is promised to be compiled successfully.
You can use this source code freely, but please link this GitHub repository when redistributing. Thank you for your cooperation!
Rebuild:
cd lede
git pull
./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds install -a
make defconfig
make -j8 download
make -j$(($(nproc) + 1)) V=s
If reconfiguration is need:
rm -rf ./tmp && rm -rf .config
make menuconfig
make -j$(($(nproc) + 1)) V=s
Build result will be produced to bin/targets
directory.
Special tips:
-
This source code doesn't contain any backdoors or close source applications that can monitor/capture your HTTPS traffic, SSL is the final castle of cyber security. Safety is what a firmware should achieve.

Router Recommendation
Not Sponsored: If you are finding a low power consumption, small and performance promising x86/x64 router, I personally recommend the EZPROv1 Alumium Edition (N3710 4000M): Details
