Dear Developers, I'd like to make a suggestion for the addition of a OFFLINE_BUILD flag to Scons. By default this flag would be false, and allow anyone running scons to have dependencies downloaded as they are needed. Setting OFFLINE_BUILD to true would cause any attempt to download dependencies to raise an error and produce the usual 'This dependency can't be found. Please download it here:' message.
This would be very helpful in alleviating the concerns some have raised over having to do the 'busy work' of downloading dependencies in order to build IoTivity. It would also allow the build servers to hopefully run without talking to the network: producing faster and more consistent builds.
