Re: older ipkg kits?

I tried ./ as well as the absolute path to the package. ipkg still tries to download the v2 pkg specified by the feed instead of using the file...

I don't have this problem when I build a newer version of a package; I have private versions of bind, dhcp, openssl that all use the file when I specify it.

The strange behavior seems to be unique to the down-rev kit.
