The big problem is that we're using openhandhelds repo's for the version of Angstrom in Zaxxon, when we should just have our own repo's - with the packages we built for use in Zaxxon - up on a server somewhere instead - this would mean we wouldn't have any regression issues, we'd be able to do a proper opkg update, and things wouldn't get borked when Angstrom decide to yank things away from us ..
But the team that is producing this Hotfix have heard this argument enough times now, and ignored the problem due to work load, that its just really a dogs breakfast, currently. If the Hotfix build binaries would at least be put up on a repo somewhere, we could fix this, but alas ..
