[lsst-dm-stack-users] Using eups without internet connection : DM-602

[Fabrice Jammes]

Thanks K.T., it helps a lot.

Furthermore, It seems this parameter can easily be setted in 
lsstsw/etc/settings.cfg.sh :

# use 'package' for public releases, use 'git' for development releases
export EUPSPKG_SOURCE=${EUPSPKG_SOURCE:-git}

Cheers,
