Re: [Ltib] running ltib in stages

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Robert,

If you run:

    ./ltib --preconfig config/platform/_your_platform_/defconfig --batch
--dlonly --noredir

It will download all the host and target content but not build anything.

While looking at this I noticed a bug, so before building off-line
you'll need to run:
   
    rm .host_wait_warning*
    ./ltib

I've updated CVS so the rm .host_wait_warning* with no longer needed in
future.

Regards, Stuart
