Currently, replacing a package available in openwrt.git requires
modifications in openwrt.git, or requires duplicating the package in a
feed but with a different name, which causes all kind of problems
related to dependencies (all packages selecting it would have to be
modified accordingly to select the new package).
With this change, if a package with the same name is present both in
feeds/ and package/ folders, the one in feeds/ can override the one
in package/, both in the menuconfig and during the build, by passing the
"-f" option to "./scripts/feeds install"
This mechanism is particularly useful for vendor tree, or in general for
application which needs to replace one particular package which exists
within openwrt.git by a custom/newer version.

pts/feeds update -a" can fail rather silently for feeds using git, as
the script does not pause when updating a feed fails. Instead it prints the
error message and calmly continues to the next feed. It is very easy to
overlook update errors with the feeds updated first, as their text scrolls
rapidly away from the screen.
This behaviour has not been a big problem with svn feeds, as svn update stops
with a conflict message and interactively forces the user to resolve or
postpone the conflict. In any case the svn error is noticed by the user.
Majority of the feeds use now git, so this silent failure can affect users
doing private builds in an increasing amount.
Below is an example of update failing and script continuing:

Updating feed 'routing' from

The script prints "failed.", but does not break the updating process. The
"update_feed" function returns an error code 1, but that value is not checked
in the "update" function, which continues to the next feed.
Return 1 as error:
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/scripts/feeds#L547
Call to update_feed without any error monitoring:
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/scripts/feeds#L585
The included patch makes the feeds script to stop updating after failing to
update a feed.
The script continues to the refresh_config step despite a possible failure in
updating, so the stopping action just prevents the other feeds from updating
and makes the error more clearly visible.

V=99 and V=1 are now deprecated in favor of a new verbosity class system,
though the old flags are still supported.
You can set the V variable on the command line (or OPENWRT_VERBOSE in the
environment) to one or more of the following characters:
- s: stdout+stderr (equal to the old V=99)
- c: commands (for build systems that suppress commands by default, e.g. kbuild)
- w: warnings/errors only (equal to the old V=1)

The following patch adds support for darcs-based feeds.
It is tested and works well for my purpose. I wish it
were committed upstream so that I can share my feed with
other users without converting it to svn/git/whatever.
