"It doesn't work" A. Yes it does.. + Q. "What is the function of the SRC_ARCHIVE variable + A. When the makefile runs it creates a local copy of the necessary packages in BUILDDIR/sources by + downloading the files. If the variable SRC_ARCHIVE is defined the software will first look in + this location for the file and, if found, will copy it to BUILDDIR/sources. If the files are not + found in SRC_ARCHIVE _and_ you have write priv to the directory any downloaded files will be + mirrored there. + + Q. "Why have 2 copies of the files." + A. The packages files must be visible during the chroot phase and this is a simple and reliable method. + This method also handles the CLFS build method where the final build may be done on a separate machine.
