Remove or keep bird-openwrt packets?
The bird integration to UCI/LUCI was made by Eloi, a student which is now out of the map. I pushed the packets to the oprnwrt-routing repository with the idea that he would maintain them, however I don't think it is gonna happen. Is there anyone interested on taking care of the maintenance? If not, I would remove them at least from the official repository.

Dear Pau,
As you say, I have not been actively maintaining the package (lack of time). However, I just have started updating it as I could make it part of my MSc. project.
Yes, I already started looking at it and how Bird2 manages configuration now. However, I have had no spare time yet to properly start developing it. Moreover, I am still unsure about how bird1/2 separation will be handled (https://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages/pull/340)

Ah, awesome, didn't see that pull request. Not sure there's a reason to keep bird 1.6 around if you can support the 2.0 config format in uci. The upgrade cost is mostly in configuration file format changes...
Please close this issue. Even when it is out of date, it is better than nothing.
BIRD2 appears to be built for 2.0.7 but is not in the release tree. Why is that?
Hi @p4u,
I'm maintaining the bird1-openwrt packages now, so you may want to close this issue.
Cheers!
