My time for this is fairly limited, but felt it was important that
someone maintain it as it's a critical dependency for a lot of us.

As I understand things the Yocto Project is currently in a
stabilisation cycle. So my plan was to wait until 1.5 is released and
then look at moving oe-core to opkg-0.2.0, adding PACKAGECONFIG
options (I've got a signed package feed I'd like my target to be able
to verify, this needs opkg to be built with --enable-gpg) and whatever
else needs doing. For now the experimental recipes are available from
https://bitbucket.org/opkg/meta-opkg.

As a side question - is there a specific maintainer for opkg-utils?
I'd like to discuss whether two separate repositories is a good idea
or whether we'd benefit from merging this into the opkg repo.
