Tell me if we can do something to boost your playing activities :)

PTXdist can easily cope with usual things like patches, patch stacks
with series files and local software packages. So everything you need
should be there without turning PTXdist upside down.

I missed the beginning of this discussion - which features are you
missing? PTXdist is able to build ipkg binary packets. It might also be
a good idea to discuss this on the PTXdist mailing list:

and not here.
