Dirty Unicorns Compile error topic

Alright, so I'm trying to port Dirty Unicorns to my LG OGP. I setup everything appropiately (vendor/du/products/e980.mk, device/lge/e980, etc). When I try to run the lunch command from the terminal, I get this error:

tanner@Plutonia /media/tanner/Icon of Sin/dirtyunicorns $ lunch du_e980-userdebug
build/core/product_config.mk:238: Cycle detected between "device/lge/e980/device.mk" and "device/lge/e980/full_e980.mk" for context "_nic.PRODUCTS.[[vendor/du/products/e980.mk]]"
build/core/product_config.mk:238: *** import of "device/lge/e980/device.mk" failed. Stop.

** Don't have a product spec for: 'du_e980'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

I added the du_e980-userdebug lunch command in the vendorsetup.sh file and all of that. Can anyone help me out with this? I've spent hours searching this forum and the web to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] Dirty Flash vs Clean Flash topic

So I'm pretty sure I know the difference between clean and dirty flashing (for a clean flash you wipe /system and /data, for a dirty flash you wipe nothing, maybe cache and dalvik). But my question is, how do I know which one to use and when? Is dirty flashing only for updates to your current ROM, and nothing else? Specifically with the unofficial Cyanfox KitKat ROM, can I just dirty flash each nightly?

[ROM][4.4.2] Dirty Unicorns v5 - Jan/29/2014 topic

Dirty Unicorns (DU) is a custom ROM originally based off AOKP, but now based from OmniROM. DU brings you a great mix of stability and customization. The idea to start a ROM like this was purely out of boredom, but later turned into a form of an addiction, a good one. We began to have fun while still doing things the right way. By doing so, we received high praise from not only our users but by fellow developers of other ROMs that enjoy seeing things done the right way. This ROM will always be free of charge without any strings attached or any of it's developers luring you into donating or any form of "pay to flash". Note that this is a port of the hard work done by The_Wolf91 for the Galaxy S i9000, so make sure to give him a few thanks!

Dreams of Dirty Flashing topic

I've been perfectly happy running 4.1.2 Stock and custom rooted and frozen, and now Verizon is trying to force the 4.3 OTA down my throat. I'm looking to upgrade to match the current build numbers and firmware and run under the radar of Verizon. Anyone have any suggestions/experience on methods to obtain my goal while patching on top of my current system just like an OTA would do? Also which rom/OTA rework would you recommend?

TL;DR - Anyone have any advice on how to dirty flash 4.3 over 4.1.2 without corrupting everything? (Just like OTA, but minus locking the bootloader and being verizon'd again)
