Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
+How can I use sources from my local PC instead of the official tarball?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

+Just use the "Source Directory Override" mechanism.

+
+<package>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = wherever.your.source.lives
+
+Then announce this file to buildroot in the "Build options" menu as
+"location of a package override file".
+
