1 # Options specific to downloading packages
7 prompt "Forbid downloads"
9 Normally, crosstool-NG will try to download missing tarballs (or
10 checkout from CVS/SVN...).
11 If you do not have network connectivity when you run crosstool-NG,
12 and some files are missing, it can be a long time before crosstool-NG
15 Saying 'y' here will prevent crosstool-NG from downloading missing
16 files, thus failing early so that you don't get stuck.
22 prompt "Force downloads"
24 Force downloading tarballs, even if one already exists.
26 Useful if you suspect a tarball to be damaged.
28 config CONNECT_TIMEOUT
30 prompt "Connection timeout"
34 Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to take.
36 The scenario is as follows;
37 - some enterprise networks have firewalls that prohibit FTP traffic, while
39 - most download sites have http:// equivalent for the ftp:// URL
40 - after this number of seconds, it is considered that the connection could
41 not be established, and the next URL in the list is tried, until we reach
42 an URL that will go through the firewall, most probably an http:// URL.
44 If you have a slow network, you'd better set this value higher than the default
45 10s. If you know a firewall is blocking connections, but your network is globally
46 fast, you can try to lower this value to jump more quickly to allowed URLs. YMMV.
48 Note that this value applies equally to wget if you have that installed.
52 prompt "Stop after downloading tarballs"
54 Only download the tarballs. Exit once it done.
56 Useful to pre-retrieve the tarballs before going off-line.

64 If you have a machine on your LAN that mirrors some of the needed
65 tarballs, you can say 'Y' here, and configure adequate values in
66 the following options.
68 Obviously, nothing prevents you from using a mirror that is in fact
69 *not* on your LAN, for example on another subnet of your company's
70 network, or a mirror on the Internet.
72 config MIRROR_BASE_URL
76 default "http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/"
78 This is the base URL searched in for tarballs.
80 I (Yann E. MORIN) have set up such a mirror to host snapshots of
81 some components, when those snapshots are volatile on the upstream
82 servers. The mirror is *slow*, because it is hosted behind an ADSL
83 line. For the time being, I haven't set up bandwidth limitations,
84 but should the mirror be abused, I will. Please avoid using my
85 machine when you can... Also, no guarantee is made as to its
86 availability. Use at your own risks.
88 The mirror is available at:
89 http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/
