			EMDEBIAN-TOOLS README
			=====================

SVN-BUILDPACKAGE
----------------
	The generated manpages have been removed from SVN but are
	needed for the package, ensure ./genmanpages is run before
	trying to run svn-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot

BASH_COMPLETION
---------------

	This has been investigated and the problems should now be
	fixed. Scripts are included for emdebian-tools and emdebian-rootfs.

DEBOOTSTRAP && PKGDETAILS
-------------------------

	pkgdetails.c is part of the debootstrap source which is now included
	in the package because the original has been migrated to a udeb.
	The C file is copied from the package then compiled using the Emdebian
	toolchain installed by emsetup to create a compatible binary that
	debootstrap uses during the second stage install to parse the package
	control data.

	Note: emsandbox is migrating to a non-debootstrap method for unpacking
	packages and running the maintainer scripts on the device to save
	workload on the device itself. In this mode, pkgdetails.c is neither
	compiled nor copied into the root filesystem tarball.

MANPAGE CONTENT
---------------

	The manpage documentation for emdebian-tools is quite extensive and
	alternative formats are available for easier reading:

	From Emdebian SVN, yelp can provide much nicer formatting:
	$ yelp ghelp:/$PWD/emdebian-tools.1.xml

	Via the WWW (basic docbook formatting):
