groovy.

the next piece of what I wanted here was something similar to the
ubuntu ppa mechanism for opkg.

We build iproute2 in the openwrt base repo, and iproute2 doing the
advanced and experimental cake stuff in the routing repo.

Builders (such as hopefully NOT me!) can select stuff using the -p
option on the feeds to make stuff into the default
firmware.

but users down stream have to be able to take the same package from a
different feed if they want to play with us.

Theoretically the version numbers are the same or differ. It is not
clear to me what happens in opkg.  I think my preferred solution is
that opkg pulls from the first version of the package listed in
/etc/opkg.conf, so that after flipping the order (from base to routing
(well, "cero" in our present case)) in that file, we can then pull
down the advanced stuff via opkg -f install tc, no muss, no fuss.

but that might need to reinstall it's own version of the libs, and
hopefully -f would do that?

If we were version number based, then we would occilate between
versions of openwrt packages when they
bump their version number up and we don't (or vice versa).

(I note that the iproute thing in ceropackages is lagging behind cake
a bit right now)

It sounds like you are in a position to fiddle with this?
