Re: Can't get polipo to create a disk cache on OpenWrt (r41777)

FYI, It appears that there is a general cleanup going on at OpenWrt:
  https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2014-June/025810.html
  https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=240855

In short, polipo was (is still?) in oldpackages rather than packages (which
obligates a move to github), and wont show up in RC builds, etc. until it
is moved. Certainly, polipo is not in:

http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07-rc2/ar71xx/generic/packages/

However, when I look at github, polipo is there and has been so for 2
months!!
  https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/polipo

(I have cc:d the package maintainer, just in case he doesn't know)
