# Options specific to downloading packages comment "Downloading" config FORBID_DOWNLOAD bool prompt "Forbid downloads" help Normally, crosstool-NG will try to download missing tarballs (or checkout from CVS/SVN...). If you do not have network connectivity when you run crosstool-NG, and some files are missing, it can be a long time before crosstool-NG fails. Saying 'y' here will prevent crosstool-NG from downloading missing files, thus failing early so that you don't get stuck. if ! FORBID_DOWNLOAD config FORCE_DOWNLOAD bool prompt "Force downloads" help Force downloading tarballs, even if one already exists. Useful if you suspect a tarball to be damaged. config CONNECT_TIMEOUT int prompt "Connection timeout" default 10 help Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to take. The scenario is as follows; - some enterprise networks have firewalls that prohibit FTP traffic, while still allowing HTTP - most download sites have http:// equivalent for the ftp:// URL - after this number of seconds, it is considered that the connection could not be established, and the next URL in the list is tried, until we reach an URL that will go through the firewall, most probably an http:// URL. If you have a slow network, you'd better set this value higher than the default 10s. If you know a firewall is blocking connections, but your network is globally fast, you can try to lower this value to jump more quickly to allowed URLs. YMMV. If '-1' is specified, no timeout reconfiguration options are passed to wget. config ONLY_DOWNLOAD bool prompt "Stop after downloading tarballs" help Only download the tarballs. Exit once it done. Useful to pre-retrieve the tarballs before going off-line. config USE_MIRROR bool prompt "Use a mirror" help If you have a machine on your LAN that mirrors some of the needed tarballs, you can say 'Y' here, and configure adequate values in the following options. Obviously, nothing prevents you from using a mirror that is in fact *not* on your LAN, for example on another subnet of your company's network, or a mirror on the Internet. if USE_MIRROR config FORCE_MIRROR bool prompt "Only use mirror" help Only allow downloading from the mirror specified, other download locations will NOT be used, and the package will fail to be located if not present on the mirror provided config MIRROR_BASE_URL string prompt "Base URL" default "http://crosstool-ng.org/mirrors/" help This is the base URL searched in for tarballs. The crosstool-NG server hosts a few of the required components, but it is limited to volatile snashots (eg. uClibc) that are used in some samples, or to mirror some archives which upstream can be flaky (eg. mpfr), or for which upstream releases can be missing due to upstream not doing archives (eg. glibc-ports). The mirror is provided as-is, no guarantee is made as to the actual content of the archives, or to the availability of the mirror. Excercise caution, use at your own risks! The mirror is available at: http://crosstool-ng.org/mirrors/ endif # USE_MIRROR endif # ! FORBID_DOWNLOAD
