[v4,1/2] opkg: upgrade 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0

From: Etienne Cordonnier <ecordonnier@snap.com>

See release notes at
- http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/opkg/opkg-0.8.0.release-notes

[0.8.0] - 2025-01-10

The minor version bump in this release is due to the changes to cURL error output line format.

- [Changed](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=ab03377868256427279b36c4b2a298edae4260b8) the error output for the curl download backend, to now report the HTTP error code for failed requests.
  - e.g. `error: log_curl_download_error: Failed to download headers of https://foo.bar/all/Packages.gz: The requested URL returned error: 401`
- Enabling debug-verbosity, while using the cURL backend, [will now](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=ce6fede3db931bb0da70d1334cdc4101d0aec702) print cURL's verbose error log to stderr when there is a download failure.
  - The verbose output may contain confidential information about your cURL transactions. So this is your reminder that debug-verbosity should not be enabled in production systems or sensitive security environments.
- The commandline configuration file option (`-f`) [can now](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=36d08b93d2859992b624a4ba2f412cfa5c766050) be specified multiple times, and each configuration file will be loaded and their settings merged.
- [Fixed](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=c87188d7535684fddb8cf80993c147b215602b63) a bug in control field parsing where custom fields whose keys are similar to other fields could be confused by the parser.

Hi,
what is the status of the patch updating to 0.9.0? I have seen that it is
not in master-next any more.

Thanks
Étienne

Hi Étienne,

Your patch is still in the queue, but is expected to be merged in master
after whinlatter release, so it is not present in master-next at this
time.

You can see it in my master-next branch:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=mathieu/master-next&ofs=50

Thanks,
Mathieu
