This seems like a reasonable place to ask this: How do I specify what build ipkg is to grab? There is a section in the wiki “Installing a nightly build” but I assume that’s gonna grab svn-1696 and I want it to get svn-1586.

Right… you *used* to be able to download the ipkg locally and do “ipkg install ./local-file.ipkg”, but something broke in ipkg and you can’t do that anymore.. it still looks on the web and tries to get 1696 even when you told it to load a local file.

Best fix, I think, is to download the file locally and then remove the firefly.conf from /etc/ipkg:

mv /etc/ipkg/firefly.conf /tmp
ipkg update
ipkg install ./mt-daapd-svn-1586…
mv /tmp/firefly.conf /etc/ipkg
ipkg update
