Announcing the OpenWrt/LEDE merge

[Posted January 3, 2018 by ris]

The OpenWrt and LEDE projects have announced their unification under the OpenWrt name. The old OpenWrt CC 15.05 release series will receive a limited amount of security and bug fixes, but the current LEDE 17.01 series is the most up-to-date. "The merged project will use the code base of the former LEDE project. OpenWrt specific patches not present in the LEDE repository but meeting LEDEs code quality requirements got integrated into the new tree. The source code will be hosted at git.openwrt.org with a continuously synchronized mirror hosted at Github. The original OpenWrt codebase has been archived on Github for future reference."

Congrats, team. Took longer than some had hoped, I guess but - great move!

Why does openwrt.org not have any announcement of this? The main openwrt.org page has not changed since the announcement for OpenWrt Summit 2016 was posted.

I think openwrt.org is simply going to be replaced with the contents of lede-project.org soon and they just haven't bothered updating it (or haven't been able to due to the slow process that led to the fork in the first place). In any case, it's really good news for everyone. Thanks to all those who made this possible.
