Greetings,
While porting ls2 to the Nexys Video, I decided to run the dev scripts
from scratch, to make sure the instructions given in
https://libre-soc.org/HDL_workflow/ls2/ work for everybody.
The creation of the chroot goes somewhat slowly for me, since the Debian
mirror is hard-coded to one in the UK
(https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=blob;f=mk-deb-chroot;h=a02e46ffea4bb2b1297ce3ea8ee9648c788e9fdf;hb=577650135b6d19f63a7de31f759991005b576805#l68).
I'd suggest either:
1) select a mirror using an environment variable (e.g. CHROOT_DEBIAN_MIRROR)
2) give the mirror URL to the script as a second (optional) command-line
argument
The default could be either:
1) empty (debootstrap seems to pick a fast mirror, for me, in that case)
2) keep it as of now, with the UK mirror.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Cesar
