[LEDE-DEV] Question regarding kmod-ipt-offload and imagebuilder

[Koen Vandeputte]

Hi Felix,

Regarding your commit ("build: include kmod-ipt-offload in default 
images") [1]

By default, this package is only supported (and selectable) when the 
target device uses kernel 4.14.


I've just tried this:

- Checkout OpenWrt master
- Select a target using kernel 4.9 (ar71xx)
- Build it normally
- Use Imagebuilder to customize the image and rebuild it.

The imagebuilder logically fails, as package kmod-ipt-offload is 
required but not available.

Is there any possibility to mark a package to be required within 
include/target.mk , but only when the kernel version matches some 
minimum/specific version?
I know it's possible in the imagebuilder to de-select a package using 
the make command .. but it would be nicer to have a solution which does 
not require specifying this explicitly.


Any idea?


Thanks,

Koen
