+Build Instructions
+------------------
+
+* Requirements
+  ------------
+
+  - A POSIX compatible system with a standard C development environment
+  - GNU make version 3.81 or later
+  - skalibs version 2.9.1.0 or later: https://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/
+  - execline version 2.6.0.0 or later: https://skarnet.org/software/execline/
+  - s6 version 2.9.0.1 or later: https://skarnet.org/software/s6/
+  - s6-rc version 0.5.1.1 or later: https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/
+  - s6-linux-init version 1.0.3.1 or later: https://skarnet.org/software/s6-linux-init/
+
+
+* Standard usage
+  --------------
+
+  ./configure && make && sudo make install
+
+ will work for most users.
+ It will install the binaries in /bin.
+
+ You can strip the binaries and libraries of their extra symbols via
+"make strip" before the "make install" phase. It will shave a few bytes
+off them.
+
+
+* Customization
+  -------------
+
+ You can customize paths via flags given to configure.
+ See ./configure --help for a list of all available configure options.
+
+ --enable-alias-daemontools will build some daemontools emulation
+binaries and, at installation time, ensure daemontools binary names
+(such as "envdir" or "svc") point to them.
+
+ --enable-alias-runit will build some runit emulation binaries and,
+at installation time, ensure runit binary names (such as "sv" or
+"chpst") point to them.
+
+
+* Environment variables
+  ---------------------
+
+ Controlling a build process via environment variables is a big and
+dangerous hammer. You should try and pass flags to configure instead;
+nevertheless, a few standard environment variables are recognized.
+
+ If the CC environment variable is set, its value will override compiler
+detection by configure. The --host=HOST option will still add a HOST-
+prefix to the value of CC.
+
+ The values of CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS will be appended to flags
+auto-detected by configure. To entirely override the flags set by
+configure instead, use make variables.
+
+
+* Make variables
+  --------------
+
+ You can invoke make with a few variables for more configuration.
+
+ CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LDLIBS, AR, RANLIB, STRIP, INSTALL and
+CROSS_COMPILE can all be overridden on the make command line. This is
+an even bigger hammer than running ./configure with environment
+variables, so it is advised to only do this when it is the only way of
+obtaining the behaviour you want.
+
+ DESTDIR can be given on the "make install" command line in order to
+install to a staging directory.
+
+
+* Shared libraries
+  ----------------
+
+ Software from skarnet.org is small enough that shared libraries are
+generally not worth using. Static linking is simpler and incurs less
+runtime overhead and less points of failure: so by default, shared
+libraries are not built and binaries are linked against the static
+versions of the skarnet.org libraries. Nevertheless, you can:
+  * build shared libraries: --enable-shared
+  * link binaries against shared libraries: --disable-allstatic
+
+
+* Static binaries
+  ---------------
+
+ By default, binaries are linked against static versions of all the
+libraries they depend on, except for the libc. You can enforce
+linking against the static libc with --enable-static-libc.
+
+ (If you are using a GNU/Linux system, be aware that the GNU libc
+behaves badly with static linking and produces huge executables,
+which is why it is not the default. Other libcs are better suited
+to static linking, for instance musl: https://musl-libc.org/)
+
+
+* Cross-compilation
+  -----------------
+
+ skarnet.org packages centralize all the difficulty of
+cross-compilation in one place: skalibs. Once you have
+cross-compiled skalibs, the rest is easy.
+
+ * Use the --host=HOST option to configure, HOST being the triplet
+for your target.
+ * Make sure your cross-toolchain binaries (i.e. prefixed with HOST-)
+are accessible via your PATH environment variable.
+ * Make sure to use the correct version of skalibs for your target,
+and the correct sysdeps directory, making use of the
+--with-include, --with-lib, --with-dynlib and --with-sysdeps
+options as necessary.
+
+
+* The slashpackage convention
+  ---------------------------
+
+ The slashpackage convention (http://cr.yp.to/slashpackage.html)
+is a package installation scheme that provides a few guarantees
+over other conventions such as the FHS, for instance fixed
+absolute pathnames. skarnet.org packages support it: use the
+--enable-slashpackage option to configure, or
+--enable-slashpackage=DIR for a prefixed DIR/package tree.
+This option will activate slashpackage support during the build
+and set slashpackage-compatible installation directories.
+If $package_home is the home of the package, defined as
+DIR/package/$category/$package-$version with the variables
+read from the package/info file, then:
+
+  --dynlibdir is set to $package_home/library.so
+  --bindir is set to $package_home/command
+  --sbindir is also set to $package_home/command (slashpackage
+differentiates root-only binaries by their Unix rights, not their
+location in the filesystem)
+  --libexecdir is also set to $package_home/command (slashpackage
+does not need a specific directory for internal binaries)
+  --libdir is set to $package_home/library
+  --includedir is set to $package_home/include
+
+ --prefix is pretty much ignored when you use --enable-slashpackage.
+You should probably not use both --enable-slashpackage and --prefix.
+
+ When using slashpackage, two additional Makefile targets are
+available after "make install":
+ - "make update" changes the default version of the software to the
+freshly installed one. (This is useful when you have several installed
+versions of the same software, which slashpackage supports.)
+ - "make -L global-links" adds links from /command and /library.so to the
+default version of the binaries and shared libraries. The "-L" option to
+make is necessary because targets are symbolic links, and the default make
+behaviour is to check the pointed file's timestamp and not the symlink's
+timestamp.
+
+
+* Absolute pathnames
+  ------------------
+
+ You may want to use fixed absolute pathnames even if you're not
+following the slashpackage convention: for instance, the Nix packaging
+system prefers calling binaries with immutable paths rather than rely on
+PATH resolution. If you are in that case, use the --enable-absolute-paths
+option to configure. This will ensure that programs calling binaries from
+this package will call them with their full installation path (in bindir)
+without relying on a PATH search.
+
+
+* Out-of-tree builds
+  ------------------
+
+ skarnet.org packages do not support out-of-tree builds. They
+are small, so it does not cost much to duplicate the entire
+source tree if parallel builds are needed.

+  --includedir=DIR              C header files [PREFIX/include]
+
+ If no --prefix option is given, by default libdir (but not dynlibdir) will be
+ /usr/lib/$package, and includedir will be /usr/include.
+
+Dependencies:
+  --with-sysdeps=DIR            use sysdeps in DIR [PREFIX/lib/skalibs/sysdeps]
+  --with-include=DIR            add DIR to the list of searched directories for headers

+  --with-dynlib=DIR             add DIR to the list of searched directories for shared libraries
+
+ If no --prefix option is given, by default sysdeps will be fetched from
+ /usr/lib/skalibs/sysdeps.

+  --enable-shared               build shared libraries [disabled]
+  --disable-static              do not build static libraries [enabled]

+<h1> s6-frontend </h1>
+
+<h2> What is it&nbsp;? </h2>
+
+<p>
+ <strong><em><red> s6-frontend is still in development. </red></em></strong>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ s6-frontend is a frontend to the s6 ecosystem. It is made of
+several parts:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> A set of user-friendly commands, making it easier to manage a
+s6-based system for people who are used to other tools. </li>
+ <li> An independent configuration file format,
+and tools that automatically analyze a configuration written in that
+format and transform it into a configuration suitable for booting a
+system via
+<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a>,
+<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6-linux-init/">s6-linux-init</a> and
+<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/">s6-rc</a>. This should help
+users who are not familiar with s6 and s6-rc directory-based configuration
+but are used to, for instance, systemd unit files.</li>
+ <li> A prepackaged set of configuration files, implementing <em>policy</em>,
+suitable for booting a large majority of Linux-based systems. This should
+help distributions that want to switch to s6 but do not want to rewrite all
+their init scripts in yet another format. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+ These parts are all independent from one another. But when put all together,
+they implement a powerful, fast, turnkey init system that is usable on
+<em>any</em> distribution.

+</p>
+
+<p>
+ When it finds a <tt>!include</tt> or <tt>!includeonce</tt> directive
+in <em>file</em>, it replaces it with the contents of the included
+file - recursively preprocessed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ When it finds a <tt>!includedir</tt> or <tt>!includedironce</tt>
+directive in <em>file</em>, it replaces it with the recursively
+preprocessed contents of every file present in the included
+directory. The files are sorted alphabetically according to the
+C locale.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ <tt>!includeonce</tt> and <tt>!includedironce</tt> only print
+a file (resp. a directory) the first time they encounter it, and
+silently ignore subsequent instances. <tt>!include</tt> and
+<tt>!includedir</tt> directives will happily include the same
+files several times.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ To avoid loops, a nesting limit exists. <tt>s6-frontend-config-preprocess</tt>
+will fail if there are too many nested inclusions.
