A “Linux Embedded Development Environment” (LEDE) fork of the lightweight, router-oriented OpenWrt Linux distribution vows greater transparency and inclusiveness.

Some core developers of the OpenWrt community have forked off the project into a Linux Embedded Development Environment (LEDE) group. LEDE is billed as both a “reboot” and “spinoff” of the lightweight, router-focused distribution, with the objective of building an open source embedded Linux distro that “makes it easy for developers, system administrators or other Linux enthusiasts to build and customize software for embedded devices, especially wireless routers.”

From a non developer point of view I can see both sides

I myself like the "Steve Jobs" approach,

One man a the top calling the shots.

I've never been into "decisions by committee"

This is a good example of "decision by committee"

I saw this a few days ago.
I feel like it will only hinder the development of both sides.

Yeah, Its just the way of life

People come and go, projects fork, projects are born, and projects die.

That's opensource

So, no updates to openwrt in ages.
LEDE updated daily by all the familiar openwrt faces.

I'm wondering if we might need to switch repository for DD eventually in Gargoyle 1.11?

Yeah, No doubt Eric will make an educated decision

It will be interesting to see what he has to say

I understand in the past he wrote significant code for OpenWRT?

Then decided to start Gargoyle.

Just maybe; it provides the opportunity to resolve the distinction between OpenWrt and Gargoyle. Maybe it is an opportunity to merge with LEDE.

Looks like a remerge is finally in works.
