   I have finally updated my OpenWRT install, after over a year

     @iska @Suiseiseki Its not like you should be upgrading a router very often (they should be on 99% of the time)

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com it's easy to reinstall them, and I didn't have any to begin with

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com updating was actually easy, I just wasn't looking for the sysupgrade binary

     @iska Making it difficult to update is quite sad.
     
     My router is GNUbooted rolling release and updates are easy.

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @dcc@annihilation.social Mine can actually, but it still resets DHCP leases and active connections, which can be inconvenient sometimes

     @Suiseiseki @iska There is no router that you can upgrade without any downtime, and do not tell me you use "linux" as a router you still have to reboot linux for a kernel upgrade

     @Suiseiseki @iska You can't live patch dhcp or other networking stuff...

     @dcc @iska I use GNU/GNU Linux-libre on a GNUbooted server as a router.
     
     You can enable livepatching to update Linux-libre without a reboot if you want.

     It really shouldn't matter if a DHCP lease gets renewed - if it does, you've done something wrong.
