Yes, but 'make clean' only removes object files, causing a straight rebuild from source, 'distclean' is supposed to remove any make-generated/config files as well - IIRC. Which is not quite the same as deleting all your patiently downloaded tarballs as well ! So I just wondered if there was a way to either allow distclean to spare the package source files, or alternatively, if you could 'get' from a local repository rather than having to download via FTP/HTTP, if your required file existed.

You can hack your Makefile to not remove the "dl" directory if you so wish, but I would think that the system is behaving as expected. You could also do the get from a local repository by modifying the appropriate <package>.mk file in the "package" directory.

I >would definitely find it useful and if others agree, it might get committed. The DL_DIR will only be deleted if it's "dl" (i.e. the default). Change it (via menuconfig; no need for an additional patch, it's already in there). You can "make dirclean" to clean everything but your .config and the stuff in your custom DL_DIR.
