Thank you!

That sf:// thing did not work for me but I tried this with libpng and
changed LIBPNG_SITE to:

LIBPNG_SITE =
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libpng/libpng${LIBPNG_SERIES}/${LIBPNG_VERSION}

And when I run "make source" it gives:

Works nicely !  :-)
So that BR2_SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR variable could be now (unless somebody
really want's to force mirror) considered deprecated ?

Thanks again!
