Hello,

The sourceforge web site was down yesterday and the file defining the
repository definition was not avalaible.

OPD (GUI or not!) failed because of that.

What I would suggest is to cache the oscar_repositories.xml into OPD. 
That way, when the repository definition file is not avalaible, the 
"old" one can be used and the packages will be avalaible even if the 
oscar.sf.net web site is down (an up to date version of this file at the
time of each OSCAR release will be bundled with the regular OSCAR
distro).

Ben

PS : You should try again today and it should work ;-)
