-What is BuildStream?
-====================
-`BuildStream <https://buildstream.build>`_ 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 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://docs.buildstream.build>`_
-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 previously built elements (artifacts) from a local/remote cache, or
-  builds the elements 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?
-======================
-To get started, first `install BuildStream by following the installation guide
-<https://buildstream.build/install.html>`_
-and then follow our tutorial in the
-`user guide <https://docs.buildstream.build/1.4.1/main_using.html>`_.
-
-We also recommend exploring some existing BuildStream projects:
-
-* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/
-* https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk
-* https://gitlab.com/baserock/definitions
