Hi,

As I spoke in the BMv10 lightning talk (link to video

Would be really great if there would be an easy to select/install OpenWRT
package Makefile so that you can add ratechecker to your image by just
adding the repository to feeds.conf and select the package.

I hope this shouldn't be much work - the build system has already support
for cmake - OLSRv2 repository is an example that you can plug in the
feeds.conf and select the package i.e.
https://github.com/OLSR/OONF/blob/master/openwrt/oonf-olsrd2-git/Makefile

A simpler Makefile that could be adapted:
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git;a=blob;f=package/system/rpcd/Makefile;h=d13f20eab41861beaf6ef90354af996e8cd5ef76;hb=HEAD

Just an idea, great project!

regards
Martin
