+This directory contains scripts and data files necessary to build various binary
+(or source) installation packages.  These are the currently functional packages:
+       -Macintosh OS X >=10.4 .pkg files
+       -RPMs for various OSes that use them.  TODO: Wiki page with a full
+        list of RPM using distros and versions the .spec supports.
+       -Solaris .pkg files for 9,10
+Coming soon:
+       -ebuilds for Gentoo
+       -.deb Debian style packages for various OSes that use them.
+       -.msi packages for Windows XP and Server 2003 
+
+The Directory layout is as follows:
+packaging/
+       common/         # Common files which can be shared by all packages such
+                       # License.txt, README, or Copyrights.  So far, empty :-)
+       deb/            # Debian
+       macosx-pkg/     # Macintosh OSX 
+       msi/            # MicroSoft Installer for Windows
+       rpm/            # RPM
+       sun-pkg/        # Solaris .pkg 
+
+Each subdirectory (except common) has a shell script named buildpkg.  This script will 
+actually build the package with Zmanda's defaults for you.
