                         As a way of making it easier to generate and make
                         these IPK configuration files available on your
-                        target, the <filename>meta-oe</filename> layer
-                        provides a recipe called
-                        <filename>distro-feed-configs</filename>, which
-                        provides a package by the same name.
-                        When you include this package into your image, it will
-                        automatically generate and include a set of

-                        The only catch is that this recipe cannot possibly

-                        Consequently, somewhere in your configuration you need

-                        document-root that contains the databases.
-                        For example: if you are serving your packages over HTTP,
-                        your server's IP address is 192.168.7.1, and your
-                        databases are located in a directory called
