+This directory contains my scripts to build backports of R software from Debian
+sid to older Debian distributions.
+
+Currently (2009-07-06) I am using the following setup:
+
+/root/.pbuilderrc contains:
+
+	NAME="$DIST-$ARCH"
+	APTCACHEHARDLINK=no
+	DISTRIBUTION="$DIST"
+	DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=("--arch" "$ARCH" "${DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS[@]}")
+	BASETGZ="`dirname $BASETGZ`/$NAME-base.tgz"
+	BUILDRESULT="/exthd/pbuilder/$NAME/result/"
+	APTCACHE="/exthd/pbuilder/$NAME/aptcache/"
+	MIRRORSITE="http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/"
+	OTHERMIRROR="deb http://security.debian.org $DIST/updates main|deb http://localhost/r-cran $DIST-cran/"
+	COMPONENTS="main"
+
+This means on my external USB drive mounted under /exthd, I have the
+appropriate aptcache and buildresult directories setup under /exthd/pbuilder. I
+have four pbuilder images used for package creation under /var/cache/pbuilder:
+
+/var/cache/pbuilder/etch-amd64-base.tgz  /var/cache/pbuilder/lenny-amd64-base.tgz
+/var/cache/pbuilder/etch-i386-base.tgz   /var/cache/pbuilder/lenny-i386-base.tgz
+
+All of these have a standard Debian mirror and the security sources setup in
+their /etc/apt/sources.list, as well as my local http package source where the
+r-base package build results are available. I have also imported the apt key
+of my repository inside the pbuilder chroots.
