Updating network tools

Hi folks,

I have a MXIII-G Amlogic S812 TV box, using the latest LibreELEC build that Demetris provided here (8.2.3).

The current version of network tools I have available in the LibreELEC addons repository is 8.2.100, which has irssi version 0.8.19. I would like to have this updated, since this version of irssi does not support TLS yet. However, this is updated for LibreELEC 9.0: version 8.2.102 of network tools holds an update for irssi.

Is there any way I can update network tools on my box? Perhaps using a new alternate repository?

Thanks

Self build works, it is no too trivial effort to Backport it. Do you just need just an updated irssi?

Yes, only irssi. So my best bet is to build it. Can you give me some directions? Thanks!

this is an 4.14 compiled for RPi2, this might be enough

just copy it to /storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.network-tools/bin/iw

at next bump of the addon the file is overwritten !
