Lunohod:
I really appreciate your quick and patient reply. First thing I am going to do is to renew my account with IRC and will chat on this. I have no issues in SCP or SSH. In fact I already do this. I use it upload fonts into OI. I have already downloaded all packages for GM.There are a couple of things that I would be needing your advise:
1. How do I compile to V3update.bin since I have the rootfs-armel directory without having to revisit the web for updates. Can the Build-FW just use the source directory as parameter, so it should not have to fetch files everytime? mk3update seems to do this without any issue for Jinke & its clones firmware.
2. If I do make a change and want to compile to a V3update.bin, what is the procedure. Should I have to load that in git? Would it not impact existing file there?

Thanks
Vasu
