Cross-build adjustments for udpspeeder-simd live in the fork
- Status: accepted
- Scope: udpspeeder-simd
- Date: 2026-07-03
Context and Problem Statement
The OpenWrt package builds udpspeeder-simd from the fork's source. Any change the
cross build needs (for example gating the io_uring path on a toolchain that lacks
the syscall numbers, or a clean cross entry point) can live either in the fork's
own makefile or as patches applied from the feed's package Makefile. The existing
udpspeeder package patches upstream's makefile from the feed with sed.
Decision
Make the build adjustments in the fork's makefile, then update the
.host-software pin, rather than carry feed-side patches. connollydavid owns the
fork, so a fix there is upstreamable and keeps the feed Makefile thin. The fork's
cross target already links dynamically, so the adjustments are expected to be
small.
Consequences
- Good: the feed Makefile stays close to a stock build, which reviews more easily.
- Good: the fix benefits anyone who builds the fork, not only the OpenWrt package.
- Neutral: each fork build change is a fork commit (with the normal sign-off and co-author trailer) followed by a re-pin, per the software discipline.
