Arnout Vandecappelle 0611045c42 manual: patches are not applied for SITE_METHOD = local
We had several remarks on the mailing list of users that were surprised
that patches were not applied for packages whose SITE_METHOD is local.
So document this.

Note that for OVERRIDE_SRCDIR itself it is already documented:

  When Buildroot finds that for a given package, an
  <pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been defined, it will no longer attempt to
  download, extract and patch the package. Instead, it will directly use
  the source code available in in the specified directory.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
