[oe] .opk packages and rootfs?

[Bernhard Reutner-Fischer]

Hi,

As ipkg-utils doesn't download for me anymore i was wondering
about the status of packaged-staging and how to use it (must be
documented somewhere, i must be blind or something as i can't seem to
find it).

Are there any plans to move to opkg?

For reference, i'm attaching an initial idea (*NOT* a patch) for using
opkg to package staging and for use as online-package manager for the
roofs. It is heavily based on the existing ipkg classes, as you can see.
I'm aware that the dependecy-handling in both base and the opkg-utils
recipe would need major fixing (help on that would be very welcome).
