This would likely be in /opt/XYZ and practice would dictate that it be read-only. Sadly, this doesn't work. When I try to build Poky with a read-only $DL_DIR, it simply hangs on every 'fetch' step. Note: I could avoid this problem (although I think it's a bug even if it should never be experienced) by being able to easily provide source mirrors for the packages. So far, I've not figured out how to do this; I'd like to add my own mirror lists, similar to those in meta/classes/poky.bbclass Would this be a way forward? If so, how? Thanks for any ideas -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
