+bzr://+ URLs will use the +scp+, +svn+, +git+ and +bzr+ methods
respectively. All other URL-types will use the +wget+ method. So for
example, in the case of a package whose source code is available
through Subversion repository on HTTP, one 'must' specifiy
+LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD=svn+. For +svn+ and +git+ methods, what
Buildroot does is a checkout/clone of the repository which is then
tarballed and stored into the download cache. Next builds will not
checkout/clone again, but will use the tarball directly. When
+HOST_LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+ is not specified, it defaults to the value
through a Subversion repository on HTTP, one 'must' specifiy
+LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD=svn+. Similarly, for Mercurial repositories, one
'must' specify +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD=hg+. For +svn+, +git+, +hg+ and
+bzr+ methods, what Buildroot does is a checkout/clone of the repository
which is then tarballed and stored into the download cache. Next
builds will not checkout/clone again, but will use the tarball directly.
When +HOST_LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+ is not specified, it defaults to the value
of +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+. See +package/multimedia/tremor/+ for an
example.
