I just checked, and at http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_infrastructure_for_packages_with_specific_build_systems, under the section "16.5.2. generic-package reference", we do document the EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variable: """ LIBFOO_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS lists a number of additional files that Buildroot should download from LIBFOO_SITE in addition to the main LIBFOO_SOURCE (which usually is a tarball). Buildroot will not do anything with those additional files, except download files: it will be up to the package recipe to use them from $(BR2_DL_DIR). """ Though I agree the manual is now very long, and it is easy to overlook certain possibilities provided by Buildroot. > Managed to get it working now. Cool!
