v1 v2 1 = Welcome to Trac1 = Welcome to FreeWRT (vintage edition) 2 2 3 Trac is a '''minimalistic''' approach to '''web-based''' management of 4 '''software projects'''. Its goal is to simplify effective tracking and 5 handling of software issues, enhancements and overall progress. 3 FreeWRT is a meta GNU/Linux distribution for vintage WLAN router. In this context "meta" means, you can build the complete distribution from source. FreeWRT is meant to be an appliance development kit (ADK) especially designed for embedded system developers and advanced users. 6 4 7 All aspects of Trac have been designed with the single goal to 8 '''help developers write great software''' while '''staying out of the way''' 9 and imposing as little as possible on a team's established process and 10 culture. 5 Our latest stable release will be FreeWRT 2.0.0! 11 6 12 As all Wiki pages, this page is editable, this means that you can 13 modify the contents of this page simply by using your 14 web-browser. Simply click on the "Edit this page" link at the bottom 15 of the page. WikiFormatting will give you a detailed description of 16 available Wiki formatting commands. 7 The FreeWRT developer provides a menu based configuration to choose between classic routers, root filesystem flavours and a lot of software packages for your own Linux based appliance. The ADK downloads all software packages via the internet and creates a working toolchain (compiler, linker, assembler, debugger), kernel and root file system containing only the minimal set of software and drivers to support all integrated hardware of your router. The default firmware image configures existing non-wireless network interfaces so that you can connect via secure shell client to your router after the installation of the firmware image. 17 8 18 "[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] ''yourenvdir'' initenv" created 19 a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample 20 data. This newly created environment also contains 21 [wiki:TracGuide documentation] to help you get started with your project. 9 The best way to install FreeWRT on a supported device is to use our ADK on Debian GNU/Linux. 22 10 23 You can use [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] to configure 24 [http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac] to better fit your project, especially in 25 regard to ''components'', ''versions'' and ''milestones''. 11 FreeWRT supports following vintage WLAN routers: 12 * Linksys WRT54G 13 * Linksys WRT54GL 14 * Linksys WRT54GS 15 * Asus WL500g premium 16 * Netgear WGT634u 26 17 18 Please never build as root! 27 19 28 TracGuide is a good place to start.20 You can start the menu based configuration via "make". If the prerequisite checks are successful you will get a menu, where you should at least choose a target system. If you exit the menu, you can start the build process via "make" or in more verbose mode via "make v". The build process will download all needed sources via internet (typically about 200MB) and will build a working toolchain (compiler, linker, assembler, debugger), a kernel and a usable basic root filesystem for your WLAN router. 29 21 30 Enjoy!
