As some people found out, their upload scripts broke with this change. I'm sorry that
happened, but those scripts are more easily fixed than ipkg-utils :(
Due to bug in ipkg-utils being I haven't been using a straight rsync for a while now, so
for the curious:

rsync -az . user@remote.host:/feed/location/unsorted ; ssh user@remote.host 'cd
feed/location/unsorted ; sh sort.sh'

where sort.sh is http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/feed/unsorted/sort.sh.txt

And while you're at it, check wether your rsync uses --delete, and if not, check if you
remove Packages* before running ipkg-make-index. If that wasn't the case you have been
unknowingly suffering for a buggy Packages* for a while now. Combined with ipkg .163 on
the device I suspect 'ipkg upgrade' doesn't behave as deterministically as you might think.

regards,

Koen
