From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: MikeW Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 14:23:36 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [Buildroot] Persistent tarball repository Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net I found to my annoyance that 'make distclean' clears out your downloaded .tar.gz files in /dl, which could be a pain if you hadn't realised that (and was, since there appears to be a problem with ftp.kernel.org so I got the file 'manually') May I ask if there is a setting to allow these files to be cached somewhere that 'distclean' doesn't clear out ? Might also be useful on a server in a team environment to ensure everyone uses the same reference downloads without local duplication and time penalty. Regards, MikeW
