Hello-
I am working on a project that uses
LTIB, as it was provided by the silicon vendor with their
BSP. Most of the work will be done on a private network
that has no internet connection. I would like to setup a
local gpp on that network with a mirror of the public one
that possibly I could update every quarter or so. I looked
back through the archives and see that there are some
mechanisms to prevent creating a mirror. Is this still the
case? It seems like it since I cannot wget the contents of
the GPP (using ‘wget –m –np –w 1 –e robots=off’). Is there
another way to get the content presently?
Thanks

Hi Jason,
You can't mirror the GPP. If a silicon vendor provided a LTIB
BSP, you should have all the sources on the ISO image.
If you need anything from the GPP, go somewhere, or arrange
connection to the Internet (via a proxy) and then run ltib, it
will download and store locally anything you need.
Regards, Stuart
Jason,
We cache the tarball/patches/md5 files that are pulled in from the
GPP to cut down on network access (as well as allow us to build LTIB
w/o a network connection).
After building what we need, we collected the contents of
/opt/ltib/pkgs (that were pulled in from the GPP) and store them in
a directory in the root directory of LTIB (we call ours
LTIB-package-pool), then edited .ltibrc and add "LTIB-package-pool"
to the directory list following %ldirs. Then the next time LTIB
needs a pacakge tarball/patch/md5sum, it will then look in those
directories, and if not found then fetch it from the GPP.
If you instead want to store them on your local webserver, you could
try putting them on the server, and put the directory URL in .ltibrc
as the private package pool URL (%ppp_url) and LTIB should look
there before consulting the GPP - I think.
