You can see MokoMakefile responsibility at:

   https://projects.openmoko.org/projects/mokomakefile/

but that's not what you're actually looking for ...

What you're seeing is problems with the Openmoko bitbake build recipes, 
not the MokoMakefile (which is simply a convenience wrapper around that 
OpenEmbedded-based build system).

This is a configuration problem in the opkg recipe, caused by an 
improper change to sane-srcrevs.inc - when that improper change is 
reverted, it should build again.
