1 # Options specific to downloading packages
7 prompt "Forbid downloads"
10 Normally, crosstool-NG will try to download missing tarballs (or
11 checkout from CVS/SVN...).
12 If you do not have network connectivity when you run crosstool-NG,
13 and some files are missing, it can be a long time before crosstool-NG
16 Saying 'y' here will prevent crosstool-NG from downloading missing
17 files, thus failing early so that you don't get stuck.
23 prompt "Force downloads"
26 Force downloading tarballs, even if one already exists.
28 Usefull if you suspect a tarball to be damaged.
32 prompt "Use LAN mirror"
35 If you have a machine on your LAN that mirrors some of the needed
36 tarballs, you can say 'Y' here, and configure adequate values in
37 the following options.
39 Tarballs will be be preferably fetched from the LAN mirror, and if
40 not found there, standard places will be searched for.
42 Obviously, nothing prevents you from using a mirror that is in fact
43 *not* on your LAN, for example on another subnet of your company's
44 network, or a mirror on the Internet.
50 prompt "Prefer the mirror"
53 Say 'Y' here if you prefer the LAN miror over the upstream sources.
55 config MIRROR_BASE_URL
58 default "http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/"
60 This is the base URL searched in for tarballs.
62 I (Yann E. MORIN) have set up such a mirror to host snapshots of
63 some components, when those snapshots are volatile on the upstream
64 servers. The mirror is *slow*, because it is hosted behind an ADSL
65 line. For the time being, I haven't set up bandwidth limitations,
66 but should the mirror be abused, I will. Please avoid using my
67 machine when you can... Also, no guarantee is made as to its
68 availability. Use at your own risks.
70 The mirror is available at:
71 http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/
75 config CONNECT_TIMEOUT
77 prompt "Connection timeout"
81 Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to take.
83 The scenario is as follows;
84 - some enterprise networks have firewalls that prohibit FTP traffic, while
86 - most download sites have http:// equivalent for the ftp:// URL
87 - after this number of seconds, it is considered that the connection could
88 not be established, and the next URL in the list is tried, until we reach
89 an URL that will go through the firewall, most probably an http:// URL.
91 If you have a slow network, you'd better set this value higher than the default
92 10s. If you know a firewall is blocking connections, but your network is globally
93 fast, you can try to lower this value to jump more quickly to allowed URLs. YMMV.
95 Note that this value applies equally to wget if you have that installed.
97 config DOWNLOAD_MAX_CHUNKS
99 prompt "Maximum number of // chunks"
103 If you have aria2 installed, then it will be used to download files.
104 Aria2 can split the download in chunks, and download those chunks in //
105 which can be interesting to speed up the download.
107 On the other hand, using many chunks, or even chunking in general, may
108 be seen by some site admins as being kind of unfair, or even as a DoS.
109 That's why the range of acceptable values is [1..10], and the default
110 is 5 (aria2's default).
114 prompt "Stop after downloading tarballs"
117 Only download the tarballs. Exit once it done.
119 Usefull to pre-retrieve the tarballs before going off-line.
