Comment (by waddlesplash):

 I soft-linked everything but the repo.info file, and then edited the
 repo.info to specify "r1beta2" in its identifier, but this did not help,
 HaikuDepot still had an empty & grayed out featured section. Which makes
 sense; now HaikuDepot would have no reason at all to think it is the same
 as "master"; with just the symlink, the remote repo.info does claim to be
 the same as the "master" repository.

 I guess HaikuDepot ignores the remote repo.info and just uses the local
 one? It would be nice to have a correct "identifier" here, but if we have
 to do what we did during beta1, I guess we will...
