Gargoyle and openwrt AA 12.9 FINAL

[jackishere]

Hello,

I have a couple of questions, and I couldn't find any answers..so here goes:

1. when should we expect a gargoyle version based on the final version of AA.

2. just so i'm clear, gargoyle is a pretty interface with openwrt behind it ?

I ask because i'm having issues with the PPPOE connection in openwrt, and if its basically the same, then changing from openwrt AA to gargoyle shouldn't make any difference...hope you get my meaning.

Thanks for the help!

Yes, Gargoyle is an enhanced GUI interface to OpenWRT underneath

But it's a LOT more, better QoS, TOR (if your router supports it),
other built in features for monitoring, etc.

If you're trying to upgrade to improve your PPPOE - not going to happen

You're better of trying to build OpenWRT trunk releases and test those

And what about a gargoyle version based on AA 19.9 final ? any ETA ?

Gargoyle is a layer on top of OpenWRT but we do patch things from time in OpenWRT itself. PPPoE is just such an example. There is a Gargoyle only patch that fixes an issue with PPPoE not connecting right at boot time. I am not aware of any outstanding bugs in PPPoE in Gargoyle and use it myself.

Regarding AA release dates. There is nothing magical about AA 10.9 Final other than the developers over at OpenWRT made a bunch of builds based on it. If you check their repo you can see that they have applied more fixes in the sources even after their "final release". The next release of Gargoyle is likely to be based on the latest source in their repo and not in the "final release".

There is no schedule other than I saw a comment from Eric that it would be "soon".

You can make your own version based on whatever release of OpenWRT you like by extracting our sources and building on your own box. Not as hard as you might think.

Thank you very much for your reply!

despite what was written earlier in this post, since I switched from AA 12.9 to gargoyle last night,the PPPOE connection is very stable, so i'm really happy.

Will look into that.
