I don't see opkg, opkg-utils or libarchive in those emails or on
http://packages.yoctoproject.org/upgradepkgname. Any particular reason
they're missing?

I'll send an upgrade to opkg v0.2.3 tomorrow, then further upgrades
once they're available.

Once I've merged a patch by Jian Liu to opkg-utils there will likely
be an opkg-utils SRCREV update.

I have my eye on libarchive as well as I'm using it within the
development versions of opkg. I'm subscribed to their announcement
mailing list so I'll know when a new release is made.

Cheers,
