As announced a while ago, I’m no longer going to host the package repo on this site due to disk size and traffic limitations as well as inconvenient management capabilities. From today on the only location would be at http://repo.opkg.net/galileo, which is what you should be using for a while anyway. That one has no limits and much more manageable then AlterVista’s.
If you have any troubles connecting or using the repo, feel free to report that in this Galileo Community thread: https://communities.intel.com/message/221209#221209 or in the comments to this post.
