It's not hostapd itself. It's the cgi that use regdump to generate some lists.
Thanks for the clarification.
There must be a way to get this list from wireless-regdb. Or we can generate and ship it.
I will have a look at this then and see if I can figure something out. If I am unable to then someone else may need to have a go but I will try to start with.
So my first thought was to build only regdbdump from the crda source tarball. From the makefile it looked like you could run make regdbdump. When I tried that I had an error but also it became clear it needed to have the python2 M2crypto in place to do it, which we obviously don't want to do.
A separate makefile could be made just to build regdbdump using a different crypto program that is in IPFire but all of that is way beyond my capabilities.
A different option is that we could copy the db.txt from the wireless-regdb source tarball to a location and then use that as the database source file for wlanap.cgi. db.txt is the text based equivalent of what is in the regulatory.bin file. A downside of that would be that we would not have the protection of the key signed file but I am not sure if that would be a problem here or not. We could always include a sha256 hash sum and use that to check that there has been no corruption of the file before loading it into @countrylist_cmd in wlanap.cgi
This sounds like the better solution. A text file is fine because we only need a list of countries that are part of the wireless reg database.
What does Arne think?
If you are okay with this approach of creating a text file I will go ahead and redo the previous patch set to include a text file generation and modification of wlanap.cgi to use it.

What are the thoughts on my options above or on any additional options that I have not thought of.
Regards,
Adolf.

Removing regdump from crda package will break the hostapd webif because this is used to generate the countrylist from wireless-regdb.
I thought things had gone too smoothly. Oh well.
I have searched in the hostapd mail list for crda in the subject. Nothing found all the way back to mid 2020 when there was a two year break in any mails listed.
I can't find any way to search the body of the mails for any mention of crda and doing a google search for "hostapd crda" didn't flag anything useful up.
So I think I need to mail the hostapd list to see what their plans are to not use crda (with its python2 dependency) in hostapd.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to deal with this?
Regards,
Adolf.
