That's exactly why I dislike all this opkg stuff so much, the repos are 
scattered all about the net and not even all projects listed on opkg have 
their most recent packages there but somewhere else, thus one has to pull 
them by hand instead of being done with adding opkg.org as a repository.
I look forward to elm for Debian so much, then I can return to my beloved 
distro which contains (nearly) every single app one might need...
