+Bootstrapping a build area, build server, and apt repository:
+(Adapted for Athena 10)
+
+ 1. Create the package repository (detailed instructions on this
+ pending). Set the DEBATHENA_APT environment variable to point to
+ the package repository. Put a copy of the debathena "scripts"
+ subdir in your path.
+
+ 2. Create the build area.
+
+ 3. Build each equivs package under meta/ using "equivs-build --full
+ *.equivs" and upload each with "daequivsupload *.changes". This
+ has the side-effect of creating the basic structure of the
+ package repository.
+
+ 4. Set up the build server. The basic structure of the apt
+ repository must work for make-chroot to succeed, so this must
+ happen after step 3.
+
+ 5. For each normal Debian package in dependency order, cd into its
+ directory in the build area and run "da sbuildhack *.dsc" and
+ "daupload-release *_source.changes".
+
+ The all-packages script can generate an approximation of the
+ package list in dependency order, but it doesn't work right yet,
+ and ideally it would be possible to do several builds in parallel
+ using a Makefile like the one in scripts/build-server/build-all.
+ Improvements to this machinery are pending.
+
+ 6. Build the packages under third (instructions pending).
