I take it you need this to roll your own ipkg for your own patches or a 
version from svn? Cause there are standard ipkg's floating around for 
the stable versions if you need them. What I do is just to put my 
patches to coova in $BUILDROOT/packages/coova-chilli/patches, rm -rf 
build_mipsel/coova-chilli* and let the full buildroot sort out the rest. 
That's because there's an OpenWRT package (1.0.11) for kamikaze (svn co 
http://dev.coova.org/svn/coova-ap/packages/kamikaze/coova-chilli in 
$BUILDROOT/packages). Any reason you're still on whiterussian?

But I must say I haven't found an elegant way to incorporate an svn 
version into OpenWRT, I just compile it by hand and then copy the files 
across, then build my image. Perhaps David can share what the best way 
of doing this is.
