Description Jerry Jacobs 2009-11-30 21:34:07 UTC 
Dear Developers,
There is a bug while fetch snapshot kernel(headers). The correct string is not appended to the tar.bz2 filename. See below for the verbose output of the error.
This happens with Buildroot 2009.11-rc2.

Kind Regards,
Jerry Jacobs

The SNAPSHOT option is for using a local kernel snapshot rather than E.G. downloading the latest git snapshot as a tarball and using that (something that currently isn't even available on kernel.org).

The help text does hint about this, but I've tweaked a few things to make it more user friendly (+ fixed the bug that caused it to use linux-2.6..tar.bz2 and not linux-2.6.tar.bz2) in git (ce64e350111b).
