| 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. |

| 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 |
| 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. |

| 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. |
| |
| config MIRROR_BASE_URL |
| string |
| prompt "Base URL" |
| depends on USE_MIRROR |
| 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/ |
