- [[download-location]]
- ==== Location of downloaded packages
- The various tarballs that are downloaded by Buildroot are all stored
- in +BR2_DL_DIR+, which by default is the +dl+ directory. If you want
- to keep a complete version of Buildroot 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 Buildroot trees, it might be better to have a
- shared download location. This can be achieved by pointing the
- +BR2_DL_DIR+ environment variable to a directory. If this is
- set, then the value of +BR2_DL_DIR+ in the Buildroot configuration is
- overridden. The following line should be added to +<~/.bashrc>+.
- -----------------
- export BR2_DL_DIR=<shared download location>
- -----------------
- The download location can also be set in the +.config+ file, with the
- +BR2_DL_DIR+ option. Unlike most options in the .config file, this value
- is overridden by the +BR2_DL_DIR+ environment variable.
