Thanks for the pointer Martin, I forgot to check outside oe-core. Also, sorry
for the late reply, been rather busy recently!

I suggest we drop poky-feed-config-opkg from oe-core as it isn't really usable
as-is and the Yocto Project manual recommends using distro-feed-config anyway
(http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#runtime-package-management-build).

I still think the opkg and opkg-collateral recipes should be refactored as I
proposed in my previous email. I'll try to throw together some RFC patches this
week.

We could also consider moving distro-feed-config to oe-core if it is the
recommended way to setup opkg feeds. I do think that a unified way of
configuring ipk/deb/rpm feeds would be good to have in the long term, but we can
at least tidy up the opkg configuration for now.

Thanks,
