First of all, thanks for a wonderful timesaver :)


Basically what I wish, is to set a SOURCE dir in the .conf file, have jhalfs copy packages from there, and only download is the package don't exist.

The following is a cheap/inexpensive hack, and not a sanctioned method, that "should" work with lfs/hlfs and/or blfs. It "may" work with clfs if you stay with the same architecture as the host. (enough caveats to cover my buttocks I think)

  Start with an empty sources dir and execute the following

  mount --bind $SOURCE $BUILDDIR/sources

(Remember, this connection is not persistent between boots and if you delete any files they are removed from your SOURCE directory.)

I will see what can be done to accommodate your request within the various jhalfs branches.

I can try to make this work on my own, but I need some pointers to where the action takes place. And as stated previously, I already got the 'cp' instead of 'wget' to work with jhahlfs. Would be easy to make it work for jhalfs, but I haven't tested. The big problem is jhablfs where I could need some help.
