That seems wrong to me. The recipe should point to the proper upstream location for the archive. If the archive moves, then the recipe should be updated to match. I know you can easily do local workarounds for mirrors and such, but I wouldn't consider putting them into a recipe directly as a good approach as it will hide problems from people and make it unclear where the official download location is. --Mark -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
