> Are there provisions to use a pre-downloaded tarball for external projects?
There is none at the moment. However, an option can be added to just copy from a local folder instead of downloading them. Or the makefile can start with that and fallback to downloading if the tarball is not present. Couple of things could be cumbersome here: 1. Options to choose between local and download. Plus options for local path to copy from. 2. The makefile of every external project interested in this will need to be updated. On Thu, Nov 3, 2022 at 11:55 AM Alan C.
