     bool

     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.

 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 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 PREFER_MIRROR

     bool

     prompt "Prefer the mirror"

     help

       Say 'Y' here if you prefer the LAN mirror over the upstream sources.

 config MIRROR_BASE_URL

     string

     prompt "Base URL"

     default "http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/"

     help

       This is the base URL searched in for tarballs.

       I (Yann E. MORIN) have set up such a mirror to host snapshots of

       some components, when those snapshots are volatile on the upstream

       servers. The mirror is *slow*, because it is hosted behind an ADSL

       line. For the time being, I haven't set up bandwidth limitations,

       but should the mirror be abused, I will. Please avoid using my

       machine when you can... Also, no guarantee is made as to its

       availability. Use at your own risks.

       The mirror is available at:

         http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/

 config CONNECT_TIMEOUT

     int

     prompt "Connection timeout"

     default 10

     help

       From the curl manual:

         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.

       Note that this value applies equally to wget if you have that installed.

 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.
