        What is BuildStream?
        ====================
        BuildStream is a Free Software tool for building/integrating software stacks.
        It takes inspiration, lessons and use-cases from various projects including
        OBS, Reproducible Builds, Yocto, Baserock, Buildroot, Aboriginal, GNOME Continuous,
        JHBuild, Flatpak Builder and Android repo.
        
        BuildStream supports multiple build-systems (e.g. autotools, cmake, cpan, distutils,
        make, meson, qmake), and can create outputs in a range of formats (e.g. debian packages,
        flatpak runtimes, sysroots, system images) for multiple platforms and chipsets.
        
        
        Why should I use BuildStream?
        =============================
        BuildStream offers the following advantages:
        
        * **Declarative build instructions/definitions**
        
          BuildStream provides a a flexible and extensible framework for the modelling
          of software build pipelines in a declarative YAML format, which allows you to
          manipulate filesystem data in a controlled, reproducible sandboxed environment.
        
        * **Support for developer and integrator workflows**
        
          BuildStream provides traceability and reproducibility for integrators handling
          stacks of hundreds/thousands of components, as well as workspace features and
          shortcuts to minimise cycle-time for developers.
        
        * **Fast and predictable**
        
          BuildStream can cache previous builds and track changes to source file content
          and build/config commands. BuildStream only rebuilds the things that have changed.
        
        * **Extensible**
        
          You can extend BuildStream to support your favourite build-system.
        
        * **Bootstrap toolchains and bootable systems**
        
          BuildStream can create full systems and complete toolchains from scratch, for
          a range of ISAs including x86_32, x86_64, ARMv7, ARMv8, MIPS.
        
        
        How do I use BuildStream?
        =========================
        Please refer to the `documentation <https://buildstream.gitlab.io/buildstream/>`_
        for  information about installing BuildStream, and about the BuildStream YAML format
        and plugin options.
        
        
        How does BuildStream work?
        ==========================
        BuildStream operates on a set of YAML files (.bst files), as follows:
        
        * loads the YAML files which describe the target(s) and all dependencies
        * evaluates the version information and build instructions to calculate a build
          graph for the target(s) and all dependencies and unique cache-keys for each
          element
        * retrieves elements from cache if they are already built, or builds them in a
          sandboxed environment using the instructions declared in the .bst files
        * transforms/configures and/or deploys the resulting target(s) based on the
          instructions declared in the .bst files.
        
        
        How can I get started?
        ======================
        The easiest way to get started is to explore some existing .bst files, for example:
        
        * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/
        * https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk
        * https://gitlab.com/baserock/definitions
        * https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream-examples/tree/master/build-x86image
