Description
Description
The bootstrapper currently will only reach out to NuGet or Github for retrieving paket.exe. It would be nice if there was a config setting allowing for a custom download location of paket.exe which would allow for scenarios where there is no internet connection.
Repro steps
Please provide the steps required to reproduce the problem
-
Let a rodent gnaw on your DSL line.
-
Run paket-bootstrapper.exe
-
No profit.
Expected behavior
Successfully update paket.exe from a custom download location on the local machine or local network.
Actual behavior
Updating paket.exe fails.
Known workarounds
Commit paket.exe to every repository. This is not ideal, especially if paket.exe is kept up to date relatively frequently.

Research direction
Start by locating the bootstrapper code that retrieves paket.exe from NuGet or GitHub and reading how its configuration is handled. Done means a configurable local or local-network download location lets paket-bootstrapper.exe update paket.exe without internet access, while preserving the existing behavior.
