Alt-F packages are now available from a new site, sourceforge.net
In the "Alt-F Package Manager" web page, section "Configure Feeds", the current package feeds should be replaced with
andand the "ChangeFeed" button hit. Afterwards, settings should be saved.If any problem arises you can revert to the default feeds by hitting the "DefaultFeed" button.
After the RC3 release this will be the only and default feed, so I ask users to start using it now and report any problem.I wish to thank Dropbox for "hosting" Alt-F packages, but Dropbox is not intended to be a content-distributable site.Sourceforge.net provides download statistics, which will help me focus on the more popular packages.
By the way, if you like Dropbox and you install it in your computer using this link I will earn 500MB of storage on my free Dropbox account.Thanks,
So is the project moving to sourceforge?
Same problem today
I tried two or three times in 1 hour without success, So I thought there is something broken
Yes it's not a problem for me, I can't wait, I will try tonight I'm not at home now
Figured it out.... edit /etc/ipkg.conf one time

Good observation, I miss that small "detail" :-(New Alt-F users, or users that don't have any Alt-F package installed, should download the attached ipkg-update.sh file to the box, ssh or telnet it as the user 'root' using the same password as for the web gui, and execute the ipkg-update.sh on the command line using:
sh /path/to/ipkg-update.shor, alternatively, edit /etc/ipkg.conf with a unix-compatible editor and replace its contents with:
src Alt-F-stable http://sourceforge.net/projects/alt-f/files/pkgs/stable
src Alt-F-unstable http://sourceforge.net/projects/alt-f/files/pkgs/unstable
dest /Alt-F /Alt-FAs a matter of fact, all users should do this, even those that already have used the "ChangeFeed" button in the Alt-F Package Manager, because if they latter hit the "DefaultFeed" button the old feed will resurrect.Thanks!

I'm a new user. I don't have a change feed button. I don't have any packages installed because the installer still points to dropbox. I can't edit /etc/ipkg.conf because once I telnet into the NASbox, basically no commands work, I can view directories or move within them, doesn't matter where I place the script it's not found, I don't even have a file structure to find or edit /etc/ipkg.conf . What the heck am I supposed to be doing?

I just installed Alt-F 1.0 with kernel 4.4.86 on my DNS321 A2 and cannot update packages to install minidlna, please help. Thank you.
