Hi,
Point to the list of available sourceforge mirrors in buildroot's help
text.
PS: It is not feasable to automagically list the current ones as we
cannot reliably rely on an external program to dump them, i'd say.
Something like this
lynx --dump --source \
"http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/index-sf.html?download" \
| awk 'BEGIN{FS=">"};{if(/form\.submit/){print $NF}}'
might work to build an option-list, but i think that if such an
automatically generated option list is desired, we should provide a
simple C client to fetch the main list in order not to rely on external
programs. This may not be worthwhile, though.
thanks,
Bernhard
