Buildroot's normal operation is to download source packages from the project repository of each package.

But to "fix" LuaJit I needed to maintain a modified version of the original sources.
Not to worry, Buildroot has that requirement handled (in the manual) -
You can specify a local directory as the source tree of each and any package (a source dir override).

But I discovered it was broken in the Buildroot infrastructure (at least how I wanted to use it).

That problem has been fixed and the next release of Buildroot will be around the end of this month.

Which (**should**) get me to the point I want to reach - -
Only need to post the fairly small config files for Buildroot and with those, anyone can duplicate what I do -
and then continue in their own direction from that point.

Oops - except for that "write to a read-only etc" handler.
That will still need some work/testing.
