Thanks for the feedback. I'll add something that allows to download arbitrary tarballs. That's something that I also did for my Linux kernel code cleanup in Buildroot, so I'll reuse the same scheme. I'll post an updated version of this patch probably during this WE. However, I don't think having a Buildroot configuration that depends on something as "unstable" as an arbitrary development snapshot is a good idea. I'd prefer if the Buildroot configuration was using a particular tag or commit, so that the build is reproducible.
