</div></div>Writing bb files isn't hard, but every bb file is different for every<br>
application. I don't think such site as <a href="http://opkg.org" target="_blank">opkg.org</a> is needed in actual<br>
state - it should be rather overview of applications, not place to<br>
download it. Apps should be in distro repositories, and every app<br>
developer should write bb file for his app. That's only few minutes of<br>
work, and I know SHR and Om2009 will include it quickly in their<br>
repos.<br>
