Known issues (v0.3):

• There is an issue with pre-built images. It seems that the UCI-Default Scripts are not applied for some reason. If you face this situation, just copy both packages in your /tmp and and execute «opkg install PackageName.ipk –force-reinstall». It will overwrite your /etc/config/bird{4|6}, create a backup of this configuration.

• LUCI Material Design Theme shows a «Loading page» in Logs Page preventing it to load. Moreover, the OpenWRT Theme crashes loading the Log Page.
  Please, go to System -> Language and Style -> Design and change it to any other avaiable Theme (Bootstrap or Freifunk_Generic are recommended).

• There is a manual procedure to designate custom Routing Table IDs created through this package’s UI. Please, visit this page for more details.

How to compile:

Due to the existence of Routing’s bird-openwrt packages, if you want to build your system using this repo’s bird packages, you need to proceed as follows:

• Add this github as a repository in feeds.conf. Alternatively, you could use a local git clone)

  src-git birdwrt https://github.com/eloicaso/bird-openwrt.git
  
  

OR

src-link birdwrt /path/to/your/git/clone/bird-openwrt

• Disable OpenWRT-Routing repository to avoid getting the outdated package

  # src-git routing https://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages.git
  

• Update and install all packages in feeds

  ./scripts/feeds update -a; ./scripts/feeds install -a
  

• Enable OpenWRT-Routing repository to fulfill bird{⁴⁄₆} dependencies

  src-git routing https://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages.git
  ./scripts/feeds update routing; ./scripts/feeds install bird4 bird6
  

• Compile (Option 1) the whole OpenWRT image with the package included

  make menuconfig -> Network -> Routing and Redirection -> Select bird*-uci
              -> LuCI -> 3. Applications -> Select luci-app-bird*
  make V=99
  

• Compile (Option 2) the packet ( ! this method requires to compile its dependeces before using Option 1)

  make package/feeds/birdwrt/bird{4/6}-openwrt/compile V=99
  

• Find your package in

  [OpenWRT_folder]/bin/packages/{Architecture}/routing/bird{4/6}-uci_{Version}_{Architecture}.ipk
  [OpenWRT_folder]/bin/packages/{Architecture}/routing/luci-app-bird{4/6}_{Version}_{Architecture}.ipk
  

• Install your .ipk in your dev-environment (avoid CheckSum Missmatch issues)

  scp bird{4/6}-uci_{Version}_{Architecture}.ipk user@IPAddres:/tmp
  
  On your Dev-Environment:
  opkg install bird{4/6}-uci_{Version}_{Architecture}.ipk --force-checksum
