The problem is that some packages expect the "/gnu/" segment to be part of BR2_GNU_MIRROR, while other packages expect the "/gnu/" segment to be part of the package-specific download location. As a result, it is not possible to set BR2_GNU_MIRROR in such a way that all GNU packages can be downloaded. I grepped the source tree and the majority of packages expects "/gnu/" in the package-specific download location. Therefore I changed the Makefiles of the packages that expected "/gnu/" to be part of BR2_GNU_MIRROR. A patch containing those changes is attached to this bug report. If the opposite approach is desired ("/gnu/" in BR2_GNU_MIRROR), let me know and I'll create a patch for that instead. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UlfSamuelsson - 03-13-08 23:30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd vote for having "/gnu/" included in BR2_GNU_MIRROR Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 03-13-08 18:58 mth New Issue 03-13-08 18:58 mth Status new => assigned 03-13-08 18:58 mth Assigned To => buildroot 03-13-08 18:58 mth File Added: gnu-mirror-dir.diff 03-13-08 23:30 UlfSamuelsson Note Added: 0005734 ======================================================================
