freewlan.info addons nightly builds

Nightly builds for the freewlan.info addons are now available from the official update server. You need the latest stable version (0.8.6) installed and preferable a serial cable if anything goes wrong.
Just type this line into the diagnostics page and you'll get the latest subversion build every night.

cat /etc/config/autoupdate | sed 's/stable/subversion/g' > /etc/config/autoupdate
But be aware that this can brick your Fonera. The subversion build may contain untested or unstable code. I don't take responsibility if anything goes wrong. In the worst case you have to reflash the Fonera to get it working again. If you don't have a serial cable, you should at least enable redboot access over ethernet.

Because a lot of files are downloaded and copied, the update can take quite some time to install. If the update is successful, the device will reboot and you should have a Fonera with the latest svn trunk.

The latest subversion snapshot is uploaded every day at midnight (0:00 CEST). If there are no updates in the svn repository, there isn't a update either.

From 0.8.6 to latest svn - yes, but only this update contains config files. Every future update will leave the /etc/config folder as it is.
