Yes, we are still busy with download.openpkg.org. Once everything is done the website will be updated, too. > I know I'm not really a high priority as a single home user who > runs openpkg to keep his firewall packages up to date regardless > of which distro is installed, but I'm a little concerned about what > the restrictions on the COMMUNITY license are.

Well, COMMUNITY contains the name-version-release information of all packages and runs for about 1-2 months. So, if you manually or automatically (think about a cron(8) job here) upgrade your OpenPKG instances running the COMMUNITY license on a frequent interval of about 2-4 weeks, you are just fine and don't have to do anything manually yourself. The COMMUNITY license technically does actually just check for 90% of your packages, so it is even fine if you have up to 10% custom (not known and hence not listed) packages mixed in or if (for whatever reasons) you can't upgrade some packages.
