[U-Boot] [ANN] git server, FTP server

Why would any build environment use tarballs?  can you not just
reference the git repository?  This is much more efficient, IMHO.

Sorry, I cannot say much about this.

There is tools like acd_cli.py (on github) which also allow a FUSE
mount on ACD data, so there are other options for fancy uses.  But I
don't know if (or how) these would work with shared data.

Well, the ACD URLs _are_ stable, just not really conveniend to use
from the command line.

Thanks for your input.

Best regards,
