Since Debian testing now has Django 1.10. There is no necessity to
support older versions of Django. The fix for showing menu items does
depend on a small feature that is introduced in Django 1.10:
django.setup(set_prefix=True) and FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME.
Network manager's libnm throws a critical message for when accessing DNS
entries from IPv4 configuration when there are none available. See the
number of entries available before accessing them.
- Make the default snapshot detection slightly more robust and refactor.
- Expand description to explain automatic snapshotting, etc.
- Show description even after setup.
- Show default snapshot as a bootstrap label.
- Message explaing how rollback can be undone.
- Minor updates to delete/rollback confirmation messages.
- Minor style refactoring
- Create and list filesystem snapshots. Hide "current" snapshot.
- Allow deleting snapshots, except for default subvolume.
- Allow rollback to a snapshot.
- Add license header
- Let setup.py decide the Python interpreter to use
- Don't make a copy of the project directory making it easier to
re-provision.
- Show a message on how to proceed after bringing up the VM
Preseeding settings with debconf won't have any effect if the packages
are already installed. Instead, provide an override database to
dpkg-reconfigure.
- Fix code style.
- Keep description and util functions at module level.
- Add license notice to forms file.
- Internationalize and make choice descriptions more informative.
Add a dispatcher script to NetworkManager to configure
B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced interfaces. This quite a bit hacky at it is
triggered for network connections that have the keyword "BATMAN" in
them. The proper way to implement this is as a core change in
NetworkManager itself (as it lacks plugins). It is done is the hope
that it will garner some more interest in FreedomBox for mesh networks.
Currently, it is possible to create a BATMAN mesh network and shared
existing internet connections on it. Other boxes can then join this
mesh network and use that internet connection.
Known issues:
- Very unintuitive setup process. First create a connection with device
a Wi-Fi device, mode as ad-hoc, with a known frequency and BSSID. The
name of the connection should have contain BATMAN in it. It should
also have IPv4 method as disabled. Second connection should be
created for 'bat0' interface after the first on is successful. It can
be with method 'shared' for sharing internet connection and doing DHCP
requests or 'auto' for aqcuiring IP address from another node in the
mesh network.
- Untested for joining existing mesh networks.
- Requires configuring two network connections and the second one needs
to be manually enabled after the first one is successfully activated.
Select the frequency band (2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz) is a prerequisite for
selecting the channel. Channel selection is useful primarily as follow:
- Restrict to a particular access point when multiple access points use
the same SSID (AP name) but are available on different frequencies.
- Configure for a particular ad-hoc mesh network.
- Setup multiple access points from a single FreedomBox on multiple
channels to maximize the throughput and number of simultaneous
clients.
Ability to specify a particular BSSID will help associate with a
particular access point when multiple access points use the same
SSID (AP name). This is also makes it slightly harder to trick clients
into connection to a malicious device. Also configuring BATMAN-adv
seems to require setting a particular BSSID.
