So I opened https://github.com/mirror/dd-wrt/archive/refs/heads/master.zip, asking questions:

1. Is Asterisk compiled to produce DD-WRT? I noticed that it's all about sound... I don't think
routers could produce sound. Removing it saved 66M of disk space. Smile

\dd-wrt-master.zip\dd-wrt-master\src\router\asterisk\

There are actually some WAV music files in \dd-wrt-master.zip\dd-wrt-master\src\router\asterisk\sounds\asterisk-moh-opsound-wav-2.03.tar.gz\

2. Is \dd-wrt-master.zip\dd-wrt-master\src\router\ctorrent\ necesary? By default,
DD-WRT should feature Transmission as BT client?

\dd-wrt-master.zip\dd-wrt-master\src\router\transmission\

I'm sure x86 includes Asterisk, Plex and other nice things with plenty of space and resources.

ctorrent existed at one point in time just like kaid or milkfish all replaced, removed or retired.

I wonder who is/was actually using Asterisk PBX... Smile

Last updated 2013-04-16... not found in my Asus RT-N18U's DD-WRT.

CTorrent download | SourceForge.net
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ctorrent/

Businesses use Asterisk. You can set up your own phone if you like. Yup, that's the wiki I linked.
About keeping any old folders like I said they existed in the past old builds, no reason to delete.

But I was thinking along the lines of kaid or milkfish as these two have been removed or retired.
After searching ctorrent may still be in use. https://github.com/mirror/dd-wrt/search?q=ctorrent
No comment /src/router/configs/broadcom/.config_usb.v24 and /src/router/.config_i386_nowifi

CONFIG_KAID=y is not commented out in some configs this is news to me, thought it was gone.
Hmm.. same with milkfish so maybe these have been disabled elsewhere, or the configs are old.
Yes, they are disabled elsewhere (kaid, sputnik, milkfish) so seems ctorrent is still alive and well.

One must understand that there's various parts of the code repository that are there for posterity and may not be included in actual firmware image builds. As is said, "pay no attention to my trashbin". /src/router/configs is where you should start looking at what's included for which device(s), but those files may not be accurate.

Not everything in tree is compiled to ANY device, you need to check the device config files enabling/disabling features.

In a few months when you actually have enough experience with the code you may even start to understand the finer points of it, at this time, its just stabs in the dark as I see above, OK youre trying to understand, so I shouldn't be so harsh Wink.

When I asked why some stuff is still left behind, the answer was, "you shouldn't worry about my disk space"

That said, much crapola left behind for .23 files (old asp files) and many others have been removed like webconfig files and other useless stuff. We still have Milkfish (one of the many examples you likely will see and find) in tree but its not compiled and all and was removed last year, its strings and other stuff has been removed completely, but still present in some makefiles albeit commented out. Ive also moved many files to the old_not_maintained folder to get my playground tidier.

You should check makefiles and device config files to better understand what your looking at, all answers found within.

I can tell you, to make space you wont find much if anything, Ive reduced the web interface code (thats all javascript, language files, asp/html, css), from 3.8MB to 2.76MB, (check by doing ls -all /etc/www on a build from 2 and a half years ago comparing to latest dev build 50292) so on that front you can leave that job to me.

Good luck on your hunting anyway, you may actually stumble on something.
