You need to read this thread from the beginning.So what exactly happened with Asus, and how does it effect Merlin building firmware?>
I'll alpha test those AX model builds for ya I'd compile but if I've read correct half the stuff won't work due to closed soeuce issues and only you have access to itYou probably have time. I only got a few of the AX models so far, and I do need to merge all these cleaned up SDKs, which will take time.
My build environment is based on Ubuntu 20.04, and still works fine for me.Maybe it's time for a wiki update, there are quite obsolete building manuals. There is a lot of difficulties with aclocal/automake, it doesn't work neither on Ubuntu 18.04 nor 20.04 from a scratch.
Edit: Ubuntu 21.10 didn't help too. :-(
Are we at risk, now Asus had fixed CVE-2021-41435, CVE-2021-41436 in the original firmware?
I am sure if there wasn't going to be any more, then you would see a big post about it by RMerlin himself.Will there be any new updates to the Merlin firmware?

I don't think this is accurate. My understanding is that RMerlin has not received all the GPLs for the different router models. The alphas are not part of this process. Someone please jump in if this is incorrect.ASUS has already provided a new GPL to RMerlin, and RMerlin has already started working on a new firmware release using this GPL. Alphas for many router models are available.

Will there ever be public announcement what exactly was issue with old GPL? Someone claiming part of open source code is their proprietary code or?The GPL validation/cleanup process is still ongoing. Each model requires to get through that process individually. So far only the AX models for which I have provided alpha builds have completed this process. No ETA as to when the rest will follow (which should also come with an updated code version over the 45581 version that was initially used in the first batch of validation).
