I can easily do that, but I assumed that this could / would be built on systems without access to an external location. As such, I'll change it to: * Check to see if the tarball exists in the pkgdef directory for CherryPy * If it doesn't, attempt to fetch it automatically * Failing that, abort the build and let the user know what they need to do How does that sound?
