Wrap the blocklist file write in the IPv4 and IPv6 deduplicate paths with a cmp -s check. This prevents unnecessary file mtime updates when deduplication removes no entries. Since banip.blocklist is a conffile included in sysupgrade backups, the unconditional writes caused the backup tar to differ every night even when actual configuration was unchanged. With this fix, the file is only written when content actually changes, preserving mtime and preventing spurious backup differences. Closes #1146

Summary
This PR addresses the immediate cause of non-deterministic backup generation: banip blocklist timestamp issue.
1. banip blocklist timestamp (IMPLEMENTED)
When
ban_deduplicate=1(the default), banip unconditionally rewrites the blocklist file even when content is unchanged. This updates the mtime and causes backup differences. Fixed by wrapping the write with acmp -scheck to only write when content actually changes.Files changed:
packages/banip/files/banip-functions.sh— IPv4 and IPv6 dedup paths now use cmp -s checkpackages/banip/Makefile— PKG_RELEASE 3→42. sysupgrade disable_services and installed_packages timestamps (DEFERRED)
OpenWrt's sysupgrade creates
/etc/uci-defaults/10_disable_servicesand/etc/backup/installed_packages.txtwith the current timestamp. This requires patching upstream OpenWrt base-files which is non-trivial for the v24.10.5 release. This will be addressed as part of upgrading to OpenWrt v25 which includes the upstream fix (OpenWrt PR #16146).Related issue
#1146
How to test
sysupgrade -k -b /tmp/backup1.tar.gzandsysupgrade -k -b /tmp/backup2.tar.gzmd5sum /tmp/backup?.tar.gz— they should now be more consistent (banip blocklist won't cause differences)
