Yes.  If you mean that 23.05-SNAPSHOT is more recent than the last
release, indeed:

- 16 August 2025 for 23.05.6
- 9 December 2025 for the last build of 23.05-SNAPSHOT (before it got removed from buildbot)

However it's untested/unsupported.

As long as there is some reasonably efficient way to get them (and
preferably several ways for redundancy), sure.  Could be a combination of
archive.openwrt.org, archive.org, and object storage paid by the project.

Since you already handle S3 for OpenWrt cache, could you give an estimate here?

Could the data move/reorganization be the cause of recent errors we're seeing on the
Firmware Selector?  Maybe a redirect between 'downloads' and 'archive' or something
like that?

Go to https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/
Pull down the version selector and grab, say, 22.03.7 (any older version will reproduce)
See a CORS error:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at 
    https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.7/.overview.json.
(Reason: CORS header ?Access-Control-Allow-Origin? missing). Status code: 200.

The .overview.json file is there, well-formed and accessible, it's just that access is
blocked by the CORS issue...

Once upon a time downloads had stats and you could see how popular anything was. 

Is this infeasible with the CDNs?

It's nice to know which packages are most/least/not at all downloaded.

Hi,

I have an initial seed for an OpenWRT mirror in Kansas City, MO, USA
and wanted to inquire to be a Tier 1 mirror. Please let me know next
steps.

Hi Eric,

Sorry for the delay, I was traveling.

I think this is broken since we started redirecting traffic to the archive
server (in early January), because it doesn't send the CORS headers.

I've just added the needed CORS headers directly via the CDN, so that we
don't depend on whether the origin server is setting them correctly or
not.  If at some point we start directing traffic to tier-1 mirrors, we
would likely get the same issue.

Up, any objections for this new list?

I actually did not explain the main reason to have such a list: I've got
contact email addresses for all tier-1 mirrors, but I cannot publish them.
And I also don't want to keep them just for myself.  So, a mailing list
looks like a good compromise to keep these contact email addresses around
and not depend exclusively on me to contact mirror operators.

Hi Baptiste,

I just tested the Firmware Selector and all is good now, no more
CORS errors that I can detect.  I'll chase down the people who were
reporting this and see how they fare.

Message-ID: <d4aeeb21-d6c0-467f-a38a-d6ba850712ed@hauke-m.de>

Hi,

Jo, John, and Hauke would like to step down from tour roles as Project 
Leadership Committee (PLC) representatives of OpenWrt to the Software 
Freedom Conservancy (SFC). We previously announced our intention to do 
so on the mailing list [0].

We invited volunteers to join the PLC [1] and received several 
responses. Over the past few months, we have held discussions with the 
SFC and with community members who expressed interest in serving on the PLC.

At this time, we would like to expand the PLC to a larger group.

The following individuals have volunteered to serve as PLC members:
Alexander Couzens (lynxis)
Christian Marangi (ansuel)
Daniel Golle (dangole)
David Bauer (blocktrron)
Jonas Gorski (jogo/KanjiMonster)
Paul Spooren (aparcar)
Robert Marko (robimarko)

The following current PLC members will step down:
Jo-Philipp Wich (jow)
John Crispin (blogic)
Hauke Mehrtens (hauke)

We are hereby calling for an official vote on the following proposal:

To appoint the seven nominated individuals as the new OpenWrt PLC 
members to the SFC, and to accept the resignation of the three current 
PLC members listed above.

This vote concerns the proposed group as a whole; it is not a vote on 
individual candidates.

The voting period will end on 2026-03-13

Best regards,
Jo, John, and Hauke
