[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#718651: Built hostapd/wpasupplicant 2.1 (patch)

[Gerald Turner]

Control: tags -1 + patch

Hello pkg-wpa Maintainers,

Last week I built myself a neat little Debian gateway box (two MikroTik
radios, four ethernet ports), and wanted to take advantage of the
'survey_acs' channel selection feautre in hostapd 2.1.  So I did a
debcheckout of hostapd, replaced the source with a git clone of
upstream, and finagled debian/* files, and got it up and running - it's
been working great!

I paid particular attention to merging upstream's defconfgs and
debian/config/* files, activating several options:

  CONFIG_WPS_NFC
  CONFIG_EAP_EKE
  CONFIG_WNM
  CONFIG_IEEE80211AC
  CONFIG_DEBUG_LINUX_TRACING
  CONFIG_VLAN_NETLINK
  CONFIG_TLSV12
  CONFIG_HS20
  CONFIG_SQLITE
  CONFIG_TESTING_OPTIONS
  CONFIG_ACS
  CONFIG_HT_OVERRIDES
  CONFIG_VHT_OVERRIDES
  CONFIG_TDLS
  CONFIG_WIFI_DISPLAY
  CONFIG_AUTOSCAN_EXPONENTIAL
  CONFIG_AUTOSCAN_PERIODIC

Note that CONFIG_SQLITE (which I haven't tested) added a Build-Depends
on libsqlite3-dev.

Upstream seems to have added a Build-Depends on libnl-route-3-dev.

Patch '13_human_readable_signal.patch' was merged upstream.

Patch 'hostapd_fix-WDS-VLAN-bridge-handling.patch' was merged upstream
AFAICT, however lot's of code was changed in driver_nl80211.c so there
could be a regression.

Patch 'libnl3-includes.patch' needed a tiny refresh.

Attached is the diff to just the debian/* tree.  I could send the "svn
diff" of the entire source but that seems redundant (especially
considering how nicely prepared the debian packaging is for 2.x
already!)

BTW, looking at bug #536630, I'm also configured with IPv6 (although not
static in interfaces file like the bug report, rather I'm using DHCPv6
Prefix Delegation instead), and hostapd 2.1 doesn't munge any global
addresses, perhaps that bug is fixed upstream in 2.1.

Hope to see 2.1 in jessie!
