If so, how?
if you're talking about creating a local source mirror for tarballs to be shared across multiple projects, i taught an OE/YP course last week based on a digi ConnectCore 6 dev kit, and i wrote some wiki pages for it, including this one: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/CC6_local_source_mirror that explains how to create a globally accessible directory full of tarballs, how to configure each new project to look there first, and there's even a script so that, if a new project *does* have to download a bit of stuff that's not in your local source mirror, you can run that script from the downloads/ directory, and it will copy all the newly-downloaded stuff into your local source mirror. let me know if anything on that page is unclear. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
