Devices with 8MiB Flash ran out of memory when storing changes on the configuration. This commit tackles that problem by automatically removing some not crucial packages, if we detect a device with 8MiB flash. This is achieved by loading the OpenWrt Table of Hardware into a sqlite-db and querying for the flash amount. In the future this can also be used for detecting 32MiB-RAM devices. The list of packages that should be removed is defined in a variable at the tob of the script. In addition there is a list of routers that should get less packages even if they have technically more than 8MiB flash. This is useful for example for UniFi-AC-Mesh, which has two 8MiB-Partitions on a 16MiB-Flash. Signed-off-by: Martin Hübner <martin.hubner@web.de>
