From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Thomas De Schampheleire Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 09:07:05 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: clarify help text for 'custom tarball' Message-ID: <1421395625-2672-1-git-send-email-patrickdepinguin@gmail.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net From: Thomas De Schampheleire The help text for Linux option 'Custom tarball' only refers to ftp or http tarballs, while in reality file or scp protocols are also supported. Triggered by a recent support question, update the help text to clarify this.
