  Some of the work was not completely done knowing all of the implications,
neither done with full knowledge of all tools. But consulting with more
experienced people at Mandriva, i.e. people with experience setting up
a repository server, experienced with a given application, etc. Also
when in doubt, posts/discussion was done at the proper mailing lists.

  Common sense was attempted always, but some mistakes were unfortunatelly
done, and some still exists, that may be hard to fix at a later stage, but
they are not vital for the project (i.e. they are invisible to the result
available to Mandriva end users), and can even be called features :-)

  Files in this directory have documentation to help others understand
how everything works, or is expected to work, as well as try to not
descend into too much details, to avoid requiring too much time to
undestand. The main goal is to prevent other to fall in the same errors
done when first implementing the build system[1], as well as try to have
documentation clear, and separated by topics. Extra documentation, like
tutorials should have links to the proper tutorials, or complete
documentation.

[1] It isn't exactly a build system, but a schema to provide proper
dependency tracking, and tools to assure components are working properly,
or at worst, at least some (hopefuly temporary) solution to not cause
random runtime crashes.
