If you want +to keep a complete version of OpenaDK which is known to be working +with the associated tarballs, you can make a copy of this directory. +This will allow you to regenerate the toolchain and the target +filesystem with exactly the same versions. + +If you maintain several OpenADK trees, it might be better to have a +shared download location. This can be achieved by pointing the ++DL_DIR+ environment variable to a directory. If this is +set, then the value of +ADK_DL_DIR+ in the OpenADK configuration is +overridden. The following line should be added to +<~/.bashrc>+. + +----------------- + $ export DL_DIR=<shared download location> +----------------- + +The download location can also be set in the +.config+ file, with the ++ADK_DL_DIR+ option. Unlike most options in the .config file, this value +is overridden by the +DL_DIR+ environment variable. |
