Hi and welcome :)
I just want to get the ball rolling. What do we need? How do we get a real working repository for the OpenPandora? There is space and bandwidth out there right?
There's enough space and bandwidth on our server, yes.
We know we're not entirely at ground zero because there's a working OE build environment somewhere that's making the firmware image. We just need to put it to use packaging everything from over at the Angstrom repo (and maybe Debian, too) with the Pandora's unique needs in mind. Tell me what needs to be done and point me in the right direction, I'll make time to make this happen.
Well, right now the server takes the recipe for the OpenPandora firmware image, bakes the IPKs from that and creates a flashable image. Therefore, we only have a repo for all the stuff that's in the default firmware.
That one works well, though, I tried upgrading vanilla Pandora and updated it to Hotfix 4 with opkg upgrade :) The repo can be found here: http://openpandora.org/feeds/
Basically, if we want all OE packages in there so that the user can install non-included things as well, we'd need to setup the server so that it bakes all other packages from our OE Clone (http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openembedded.git;a=summary) as well, but doesn't include them in the image, but only in the feeds.
Once that has happened, we can easily switch the Pandora to use our feeds.
