I suppose the build parameters weren't uploaded by the original dev (it was only 2020)? The top SO answer suggests that the problem is too much history. Although it didn't suggest this specific solution, I tried ignoring stuff from before 2.25: humax# git clone --shallow-since 2020-01-01...- /df

Yes, there are (at least) 2 packages, but unlike the CF python the Perls don't come with a standard library that has wide functionality. So useful Perl packages need external modules: because Perl is pretty much a text processor with pretensions these modules are often written in some more...- /df

I assume that running (eg) git add ... invokes /mod/libexec/git-core/git-add ... and the processing uses args[0] to control which subcommand is being run.

On another topic: # git add -i fatal: 'add--interactive' appears to be a git command, but we were not able to execute it. Maybe git-add--interactive is broken? It would be better if "we" were able to execute it. But apparently it's a Perl script, and needs some Git module that won't be...- /df

Linux/Bash(?) help please

Correcting the Wi-Fi Channel Range
Generally it works without intervention. Forcing reconnection using the on-screen UI may sometimes be necessary: presumably, parameters set with iwpriv... sit in some driver data store that survives reconnections.

Correcting the Wi-Fi Channel Range
The current version of the wifi-helper package tries to fix all the driver parameters to avoid manual intervention but I believe it isn't guaranteed to be used, at least initially, because the Humax blob may succeed in making the connection first.- /df

Correcting the Wi-Fi Channel Range
The driver settings file is in /etc/ which is RO storage. You can't directly modify this file, unlike files in the RO filesystem, like /etc/resolv.conf, that were configured as links to RW storage (eg /var/lib/humaxtv) when the firmware was created. As I explained in the old post about this...- /df

Power Off Timer in Standby = boot to Half-Awake (and stay there)
My idea, if it was one, was that we could intercept any Standby command while running and turn it into a one-off PowerOff timer set to as close to now as possible, whereas a Standby command when not running would proceed as normal.- /df

Freshly formatted disk and fixdisk finds things to grumble about
The Humax binary that does the on-screen disk format calls functions from /usr/lib/libext2fs.so.2 (actually .2.4), so they basically implemented their own mke2fs. One can imagine how horlickingly well that went: well enough not to block shipping, but no better. The same library is invoked...- /df

If what you showed above worked before, then save this #!/bin/sh cd /mod/webif patch -p1 < /mod/tmp/webif-matthew-combined.patch to a file in /mod, make it executable as you showed and then run it when necessary.

So Style-only changes can be added to /mod/webif/html/css/EXTRA.css, which won't be updated. But if the affected page, either its structure or its styles, is significantly modified in a new version the EXTRA styles may become ineffective or actually degrade the display. Really skilled...- /df
