I thought about this and chatted with RCN about some options, and the following approach seems reasonable and shouldn't require too much in the way of drastic changes. There are two parts to what I'm thinking about. One would be a "preload" command that could be added to the image creation scripts that would download the current version of the required files so they are in the MachineKit tarball. This is completely "safe" and can easily be setup so it won't break RCN's usage of the build scripts. The other part would be tweaks to the actual setup_sdcard.sh script so it would use the cached files and not try to pull updates from the internet. RCN already has some switches to do part of this (see --spl and --bootloader, which affect the LOCAL_SPL, LOCAL_BOOTLOADER and USE_LOCAL_BOOT variables), but that doesn't support everything currently fetched online. Also, it would be good if the syntax was simpler to use. Perhaps something like an --offline switch. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
