[oe] [PATCH] added new recipe for olsrd_0.5.6-r8

[Adam Wozniak]

It is "revision" 8, not "release candidate" 8.  If you look at  
http://www.olsr.org/releases/0.5/ you'll notice they ALSO have things 
labeled 0.5.6-rcN, but these all predate 0.5.6-rN.  I think their 
numbering scheme through 0.5.6 is horrible.  It gets worse...  Four days 
after they posted 0.5.6-r8, they decided to break convention again and 
posted 0.5.6-r8-2 (and not 0.5.6-r9 as you'd expect).

It is indeed unfortunate.
