Well as URL2, the fall back. In theory the externals should be downloaded
from their actual origination points -- URL1.
In many cases in practice URL1 fails since (from quick checks I did many
months ago) the file.tar.gz package is expanded (i.e., bootstrap
downloads file.tar even if it names it file.tar.gz) and the checksum
thus does not match. So URL2 is not rarely used. I haven't checked now,
but you might want to test if this is what you are seeing (simply check
if the wrong checksum reported is actually the right checksum of the
uncompressed file).
I was thinking we could still put them in /trunk/ext_sources and jsut ahve
SF mirror this. Really the status of this is still up in the air.
The status is clear: ext_sources in SVN contains category A stuff.
Category B stuff is downloaded at build time, in the "bootstrap" phase,
if the relevant options are enabled.
Thanks for this explanation, and the reference to the other patches. I will
see what I can do about my particular build situation when these libraries
are not physically in /trunk/ext_sources.
The bootstrap phase should populate ext_sources with downloaded
dependencies according to your configure options.

Andrea.
