Created attachment 3043 [details] patch to add support for SITE_METHODS scp, file(cp), rsync Add SITE_METHODs for flexibility and development ease. Since http, ftp and git, svn and bzr are already supported, I added the "file://", scp and rsync SITE_METHODs for ease of development before migrating to git. Since this is a proof of concept, feedback is sought about how appropriate these are.
This bug is going to be fixed by the for-2011.11/pkg-infra branch which I have proposed on the Buildroot list.
Fixed in git by Thomas/David (2690e76aa2adb4).
