Add EVEREST_EDM_OFFLINE environment variable

[hikinggrass]

Defaulting to "no" you can set this to "yes" to disable tag/branch checking

Still EDM (called by cmake resp. `make) gets stuck at these lines (with very bad internet bandwidth on regional trains):

edm]: Dependency "sigslot": determining if "v1.2.0" is a tag
[edm]: Dependency "pugixml": determining if "v1.12.1" is a tag
[edm]: Dependency "libcurl": determining if "curl-8_4_0" is a tag

I've updated EDM with

$ cd everest-dev-environment/dependency_manager/
$ pip3 install .

How did you set the environment variable?
Do you see the following output somewhere?

Using edm in offline mode, not attempting to distinguish tags and branch names

Yeah, right. With export EVEREST_EDM_OFFLINE=yes && cmake ... it works. I've done the usual cmake -D EVEREST_EDM_OFFLINE. Would it be possible to use this somehow, too? Otherwise it's a little bit confusing.

However, now it's stuck at these lines:

-- Fetching everest-admin-panel
Found nodejs version 'v12.22.9' that can provide Node-API version '8' which satifies the requirement of Node-API version '6'

I think this would necessitate changes to everest-cmake, maybe at a future point in time :)

Ah the admin panel fetching you can turn off by setting

-DNO_FETCH_CONTENT=ON

in your cmake configure command
