How to build a custom image builder tarball for Tetaneutral.net needs:

- includes Luci and the packages installed in the ttnn firmwares.
- suited for use with the quick_ttn.py script

Information mostly from https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images

You need a fresh directory with 15 GB of free space...

Get the OpenWrt sources :

git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git 

cd openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

Configure the build :

make menuconfig

There are a number of options to set with "*" (not "M")

Note: if you build as root please set before make
export FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1

Run 'make download' to download package before compiling, otherwise make with
multiple cores can hang

Run 'make -j <n>' where '<n>' is the number of cores of the build machine
