[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH 2/2] download.mk: introduce a new variable SKIPHASH

[Jo-Philipp Wich]

Hi Baptiste,

we've been discussing this patch again on IRC today and I came up with
an alternate suggestion that does not require a new variable.

Using the change above one can issue a

  "make package/mypackage/download PKG_HASH=none"

to download ignoring the Makefile checksum while preserving the error
semantics of unset PKG_HASH cases.

Ideally I'd like to push the "none" variant but wanted to share the idea
on the list first to see what others think about it.
