[Buildroot] how to point at a local archive of S/W tarballs?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  [apologies if you've seen this before -- i posted it yesterday but
it doesn't seem to show up in the ML archives.]

  if i'm starting a new build, how can i take advantage of the
gigabytes of S/W tarballs i've collected for doing OE/yocto project
builds?

  i want to set the equivalent of a local mirror -- would i set a
value in the "Primary download site" config option, with the format
"file:///pathname/to/all/my/tarballs"?
