Hi,

I have a custom .mk file with some PKG_DL_OPTS defined (username and password
for wget download). The .mk file contains the classical rules for target and
host package:

$(eval $(generic-package))
$(eval $(host-generic-package))

When I trigger a download of the host package first (e.g. make host-PKG-source)
I detected that PKG_DL_OPTS is not passed to the dl-wrapper script that
buildroot uses to download the src. I explicitly have to define a
HOST_PKG_DL_OPTS = $(PKG_DL_OPTS) in my .mk file for the download to be
successful for the host package.

I've looked into the sources and I found the following comment in
pkg-generic.mk which seems to be related to this question:

[...]
# Define default values for various package-related variables, if not
# already defined. For some variables (version, source, site and
# subdir), if they are undefined, we try to see if a variable without
# the HOST_ prefix is defined. If so, we use such a variable, so that
# this information has only to be specified once, for both the
# target and host packages of a given .mk file.
[...]

Maybe some handling similar to the other variables has to be added for _DL_OPTS
(i.e. if HOST_PKG_DL_OPTS is undefined set it to the value of PKG_DL_OPTS)?

Kind regards,
Matthias
