It's long dead upstream and hasn't seen any updates since it got added back in 2008.

It's long dead upstream and hasn't seen any updates since it got added back in 2008.

The project is currently located here:
http://code.google.com/p/x-wrt/source/browse/

It does not use a top level Makefile anymore and is designed to be a feed in OpenWrt. This makes it more difficult to port it over to a generic "distribution" like buildroot. Furthermore it relies on UCI now.

The webif currently included in br (whiterussian?) was well welcome, when I experimented with a headless device. The webinterface was small and used busybox httpd capabilities. The basic information provided by some of the applets were useful for basic debugging ... but not more.
