653 <glossdef>
654 <para>
655 Specifies a space-delimited list of hosts that the fetcher
656 is allowed to use to obtain the required source code.
657 Following are considerations surrounding this variable:
658 <itemizedlist>
659 <listitem><para>
660 This host list is only used if
661 <filename>BB_NO_NETWORK</filename> is either not
662 set or set to "0".
663 </para></listitem>
664 <listitem><para>
665 Limited support for wildcard matching against the
666 beginning of host names exists.
667 For example, the following setting matches
668 <filename>git.gnu.org</filename>,
669 <filename>ftp.gnu.org</filename>, and
670 <filename>foo.git.gnu.org</filename>.
671 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
672 BB_ALLOWED_NETWORKS = "*.gnu.org"
673 </literallayout>
674 </para></listitem>
675 <listitem><para>
676 Mirrors not in the host list are skipped and
677 logged in debug.
678 </para></listitem>
679 <listitem><para>
680 Attempts to access networks not in the host list
681 cause a failure.
682 </para></listitem>
683 </itemizedlist>
684 Using <filename>BB_ALLOWED_NETWORKS</filename> in
685 conjunction with
686 <link linkend='var-PREMIRRORS'><filename>PREMIRRORS</filename></link>
687 is very useful.
688 Adding the host you want to use to
689 <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> results in the source code
690 being fetched from an allowed location and avoids raising
691 an error when a host that is not allowed is in a
692 <link linkend='var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></link>
693 statement.
694 This is because the fetcher does not attempt to use the
695 host listed in <filename>SRC_URI</filename> after a
696 successful fetch from the
697 <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename> occurs.
