-# Categories
-
-The LuCI modules are divided into several category directories, namely:
-* applications (Single applications or plugins for other modules or applications)
-* i18n (Translation files)
-* libs (Independent libraries)
-* modules (Collections of applications)
-* themes (Frontend themes)
-
-Each module goes into a subdirectory of any of this category-directories.
-
-# Module directory
-The contents of a module directory are as follows:
-
-## Makefile
-This is the module's makefile. If the module just contains Lua sourcecode or resources then the following Makefile should suffice.
-
- include ../../build/config.mk
- include ../../build/module.mk
-
-
-If you have C(++) code in your module your Makefile should at least contain the following things.
-
- include ../../build/config.mk
- include ../../build/gccconfig.mk
- include ../../build/module.mk
-
- compile:
- # Commands to compile and link your C-code
- # and to install them under the dist/ hierarchy
-
- clean: luaclean
- # Commands to clean your compiled objects
-
-
-
-## src
-The *src* directory is reserved for C sourcecode.
-
-## luasrc
-*luasrc* contains all Lua sourcecode files. These will automatically be stripped or compiled depending on the Make target and are installed in the LuCI installation directory.
-
-## lua
-*lua* is equivalent to _luasrc_ but containing Lua files will be installed in the Lua document root.
-
-## htdocs
-All files under *htdocs* will be copied to the document root of the target webserver.
-
-## root
-All directories and files under *root* will be copied to the installation target as they are.
-
-## dist
-*dist* is reserved for the builder to create a working installation tree that will represent the filesystem on the target machine.
-*DO NOT* put any files there as they will get deleted.
-
-## ipkg
-*ipkg* contains IPKG package control files, like _preinst'', ''posinst'', ''prerm'', ''postrm''. ''conffiles_.
-See IPKG documentation for details.
-
-
-# OpenWRT feed integration
-If you want to add your module to the LuCI OpenWRT feed you have to add several sections to the contrib/package/luci/Makefile.
-
-For a Web UI applications this is:
-
-A package description:
-
- define Package/luci-app-YOURMODULE
- $(call Package/luci/webtemplate)
- DEPENDS+=+some-package +some-other-package
- TITLE:=SHORT DESCRIPTION OF YOURMODULE
- endef
-
-
-
-A package installation target:
-
- define Package/luci-app-YOURMODULE/install
- $(call Package/luci/install/template,$(1),applications/YOURMODULE)
- endef
-
-
-A module build instruction:
-
- ifneq ($(CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci-app-YOURMODULE),)
- PKG_SELECTED_MODULES+=applications/YOURMODULE
- endif
-
-
-
-A build package call:
-
- $(eval $(call BuildPackage,luci-app-YOURMODULE))
-
