bcm4908: NetGear OEM firmware for R7900P identical to R8000P

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/kernel-patches-netgear-r8000p-r7900p/114540

My neighbor has a R7900P and it is likely to be unsupported from a
security point-of-view shortly (Netgear stops all support 3 years after
the last unit is manufactured).  I was going to try to build a R7900P
image labeled as such but am not sure what to do with the kernel 5.10
patches.  Duplicating the patches might work for my build, but the
projects bulk builds would patch a previously patched kernel.

I previously added the TRENDnet TEW-810DR which had the same Board ID as
the D-Link DIR-810L which did not involve kernel patches.  Any guidance
on how to deal with the patches?

Correct, it needs no privileges to update Weblate's .po copy from the 
repository and if you want to commit the localization that has been made by 
contributors you can opt to have the Weblate commit automatically if you're 
feeling daring, or you can just opt to have manually triggered PR where someone 
with merge permission can review per usual contribution workflow. The 
Continuous Localization documentation documents the workflow and possibilities 
pretty well: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/continuous.html

Yep, Weblate is largely a browser based localization tool frontend with a pinch 
of middleware components to update Weblate's copy, send out notifications, and 
make commits or PR's.

Thanks again for your time. If I can help pilot any, etc let me know!

[OpenWrt-Devel] [Suggestions] Streamline localization by using Weblate for the project, use LiberaPay or OpenCollective to enable people to donate

First and foremost, as a user of OpenWrt and LuCI by way of TurrisOS thanks for 
everyone who has contributed to OpenWrt. As someone who's seeking to give back 
to the project via localization I noticed that while OpenWrt has relatively 
straightforward documentation on contributing localization 
(https://github.com/openwrt/luci/wiki/i18n), the process could be streamlined a 
great deal more. In particular by using Weblate thus making easier it for those 
who don't know Git and providing significant quality of life improvements even 
for those who do know Git. Those who want to do offline localization could 
continue to do so w/o issue.

For those who aren't familiar with localization, Weblate is basically a web 
based tool that allows to contribute by simply entering in a localized string 
and hitting 'suggest' rather than having to Git clone, download an offline 
client like Lokalize, and then make a PR. There's also a good number of nice 
things to improve localization. It's easy to visually see what languages need 
localization work, you can be notified when there's new strings or a few other 
trigger events, and you can utilize not only the 'translation memory' of 
OpenWrt itself, but other FOSS such as related routing projects like Foris. The 
great thing is that while you can self host your own Weblate server, because 
OpenWrt is FOSS, the folk behind Weblate would likely offer free hosting given 
their Gratis for libre projects pricing. To better see what I'm talking about 
in action please check out: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/

As a secondary note in what sounds like was written in late 2016, there were 
private discussions about public crowdfunding to help pay for servers 
(https://openwrt.org/infrastructure). Talking with tmomas on the forums it 
sounds like the current bottleneck is people power. Any surplus donations 
beyond infrastructure could be used to pay for part or full time development or 
for bounties. Between the LiberaPay and OpenCollective, OpenCollective may be 
preferable because it is designed to allow both reoccurring and one off 
donations.

Thanks for your time and efforts,
Scott
