[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Add proxy download support

Karoly Kasza kaszak at gmail.com
Tue Oct 21 14:53:23 UTC 2014


This patch adds support for downloading sources over a http proxy.
Supports wget with http, https & ftp targets, bzr, hg, svn.
Git does work with forcing https instead of git protocol.
Cvs is not supported, but Buildroot does not currently have any
packages relying on cvs repos (plus this would fall back to the
Buildroot mirror over http).
