+From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] mesh11sd: skip the environment setup for the informational
+ options
+
+get_current_setup() runs before any argument is parsed, so mesh11sd -v
+and mesh11sd -h collect the whole runtime environment first. That
+includes refresh_bridgemac(), which calls wait_for_interface() for
+br-lan; when that interface is not up, the poll loop runs for the full
+interface_timeout, ten seconds by default.
+
+On a running router br-lan is up, the loop exits on its first iteration
+and the delay is invisible. It shows up wherever the interface is
+absent or still coming up, such as the OpenWrt package CI: it probes
+every installed executable for its version with a ten second timeout,
+so each probe was killed before mesh11sd printed anything.
+
+The informational branches reference only $version and $tmpdir, and
+both already hold a value before the setup pass, so it can be skipped
+for them. The one visible consequence is that the help text now names
+the initial /tmp/mesh11sd rather than $log_mountpoint/mesh11sd, which
+get_current_setup() would have assigned on a node that configures
+log_mountpoint elsewhere.
+
+Upstream-Status: Denied [https://github.com/openNDS/mesh11sd/pull/204]
+Closed in favour of an upstream change that moves the
+get_current_setup() call after the version and help handling. That
+change is in the private 7.2.0 beta and is expected in the 7.2.0
+release; drop this patch once the package is bumped to it.
