[OpenWrt-Users] "download folder" versus "local mirror" when rolling your own

[Robert P. J. Day]

  "make menuconfig" is a bit confusing when it comes to distinguishing
between "Local mirror for source packages" and "Download folder".  if
i have an independent, out-of-tree directory that's already full of
tarballs that i can use when building my own images, i typically set
the config variable "DOWNLOAD_FOLDER" to that directory name and it
works fine.

  so what is the purpose of the config variable LOCALMIRROR?  thanks.
