Cloned and applied the same patches on top of the latest stable 17.04.1 -- only issue was 899-SFE-patch-package-makefile.patch
the 'qca' folder structure has changed. Wondering if some files are not in the lede repo or are no longer necessary as the make file is significantly shorter
@shunjou any advice on building on the latest stable branch?
id like to do the same as e97 and apply the patches to 17.04.1, but im pretty much a n00b to the firmware development at the moment. Also has anyone had any luck with adding 4.9 kernel yet? if someone can point me in the right direction on how to build something based off the generic..or give me a little advice id be thankful. Also id like to get active connections to show geolocation information like in the optimized build, is there a package for that?
I'm on the same boat, I can compile a generic build, but I don't know how to apply patches using the r00t or shunjou repos.
If someone can explain how to do that task would be greatly appreciated.
The quilt documentation is confusing, or maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks.
I guess these are questions for the development category, maybe someone will be more informative there. Glad to know im not alone @ clio, i'm currently trying to work with build system documentation, considering when i run quilt new 00-example.patch on a root shell the command doesnt exist, so i'm definitely on the wrong track i guess. im guessing a lot of these people are pretty busy building images to really want to discuss much of it in depth.
Thanks to everyone!
well i finally built one with the 4.9 kernel, woo hoo, using the image builder, had to load some kernel modules of course to get everything working since i didnt install the packages in my build. but heres a look at the kernel log, nothing fancy yet

i think im finally starting to understand how to build images thanks for all your help in the forums, discussions and tutorials!!
An overview of the build process is outlined here: https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images
There's more to learn about modules, installing them into the image and installing/loading them on the device.
For patching , I used patch. For more info man patch, typical usage patch -p1 < patches/*. I'm unfamiliar with quilt but it looks interesting, thanks for mentioning it.
gwlim's patch script, patch_LEDE.sh (https://github.com/gwlim/mips74k-ar71xx-lede-patch) explains which directories are moved from feed for successful patching.
oh yeah i found this Quickstart guide compiling LEDE after i decided to look in the developer section, . Thanks for the response though e97, its easier than microwaving a hot pocket and i get to eat it while running make 
But where is @r00t? There is long time we didn't ear him. A bit disapointed he didn't released new builds with latest fixes (KRAK) and improvement.
Maybe he'll come back as "I am gr00t" lolol
Hopefully it will ship with the 4.9 kernel...
https://github.com/sycohexor/Lede-4.9-archer-c7-v2
well heres a build with 4.9 thats working pretty well so far, just did a sysupgrade with 17.01.4, no patches or anything but i have added http://1289707005.blogspot.de/2017/09/install-luci-wrtbwmon-and-wrtbwmon-on.html, adblock is working pretty well, mount point kmods installed and block mount for usb storage on overlay working great, and speeds looking good on 2.4, 5 and ethernet. let me know if you need any help i know im kind of new to this but im slowly getting there, feel free to give me any advice or whatever.
give it a spin if you want.
P.S Also youll notice some python programs in there for rebooting your modem and then ssh into your router changing your mac then it logs the ip to a list.
one allows you to enter the ip address and password to your router then automates everything else, the other you can place your router ip address where it says "ENTER ROUTER IP HERE" and "ENTER PASSWORD HERE", if you dont want to enter it in each time. If you dont know how to do a post or get request to your modem to reboot it feel free and ask me ill tell you on pretty much all modems.
Great!
Is TCP_BBR enabled and does it help?
The C7 lede snapshots have 4.9 kernel and there is no BBR in it. sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control shows cubic and reno.
Maybe the LEDE dev should turn it on by default?
Anyway, I found this on how to do it:
TCP BBR is for servers, on routers it's not helpful.
from what i see in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_congestion_control is set to cubic by default in 4.9.58 kernel. also you can set tcp_low_latency by echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_low_latency. i just place a few sysctl mods in startup or you can change it in sysctl.conf. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control shows cubic and reno.
heres a guide for tweaking the kernel https://tweaked.io/guide/kernel/
Any benchmark available that shows that it is not useful on routers?
I found this write up, this seemed to be most relevant part of the article.
BBR appears to have been designed to avoid this form of behaviour. The reason BBR will claim its “fair share” is the periodic probing at an elevated sending rate. This behaviour will “push” against the concurrent drop-based TCP sessions and allow BBR to stabilize on its fair share bottleneck bandwidth estimate. However, this works effectively when the internal network buffers are sized according to the delay bandwidth product of the link they are driving.
If the queues are over-provisioned, the BBR probe phase may not create sufficient pressure against the drop-based TCP sessions that occupy the queue and BBR might not be able to make an impact on these sessions, and may risk losing its fair share of the bottleneck bandwidth. On the other hand, there is the distinct risk that if BBR overestimates the RTT it will stabilise at a level that has a permanent queue occupancy. In this case, it may starve the drop-based flow algorithms and crowd them out.
