Summary |
0002564: Inconsistent placement of "/gnu/" in GNU mirror path |
|
Description |
An example download path of a GNU tool looks like this "http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/binutils/". [^] The problem is that some packages expect the "/gnu/" segment to be part of BR2_GNU_MIRROR, while other packages expect the "/gnu/" segment to be part of the package-specific download location. As a result, it is not possible to set BR2_GNU_MIRROR in such a way that all GNU packages can be downloaded.
I grepped the source tree and the majority of packages expects "/gnu/" in the package-specific download location. Therefore I changed the Makefiles of the packages that expected "/gnu/" to be part of BR2_GNU_MIRROR. A patch containing those changes is attached to this bug report.
If the opposite approach is desired ("/gnu/" in BR2_GNU_MIRROR), let me know and I'll create a patch for that instead.
