old ipkg site missing?

[dicki]

Hi all,

Sorry to cross post but i am having trouble with the old style Oleg firmware on my WL-HDD. No one is responding in the WL-HDD forums so i thought i would try here i know the wl-500 and the wl-hdd had the same firmware so this must be affecting people here too.

Thanks

==========================

i have recently had to reinstall & reconfigure my wl-hdd, i've started with a new HDD and i have been following the usual instructions here http://wlhdd.co.uk/wiki/Ipkg using oleg 1.9.2.7-9

the problem i am having is that the nslu2 "unslung" packages seem to have gone missing http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/ the page returns a 404 error.

if i simply point ipkg at an alternative site (where ipkg was initially installed from) http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op.../cross/stable/ everything seems to work fine but installed packages are unusable.

below is the first example

[admin@wl-hdd root]$ ipkg update
Downloading http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg/Packages
Updated list of available packages in /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/wl500g
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/Packages
wget: server returned error 404: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
An error ocurred, return value: 1.

here is the example with the new ipkg directory

[admin@wl-hdd etc]$ ipkg update
