I'm also sat on tested patches, I was planning to send them tomorrow.<br>

Changes in v0.3.0 will make this much easier to configure. You'll be<br>
able to set cache_dir, lists_dir, info_dir, lock_file and status_file<br>
in opkg.conf. I'd rather we left the defaults as-is and use those<br>
settings once v0.3.0 is released. v0.3.0 will also create any<br>
directories needed if they don't exist. So it may make sense to set<br>
cache_dir to something under /tmp, lock_file to something under /var<br>
or /run and everything else under /usr if that's what's desired.<br>
