Hi guys,

I'm a Kivy and buildozer newbie and have managed to build a few of the example applications for my android device with no trouble. My problem is the downloading of packages each time. I'm on slow and expensive mobile data and it really does kill my build times and budget. Is there a way to configure the build to use local repos for things like kivy and SDL? I have dug around the p4a sources and see that the recipes are configurable. Where should I be looking? 

Thanks!

I think there are buildozer.spec tokens to specify local directories for any recipe. Equivalently, you can set the $P4A_recipename_DIR environment variable to the directory where the files can be found.

Thanks Alexander - I just noticed the requirements.source section. Going to try it now.
