+# Assume stage1 of the system is installed on the target architecture
+# (virtual or a real machine), we have a key-based SSH connection to
+# the machine and can build packages there.

+# Build stage2 in $STAGE2_BUILD with the tools on the stage1 system
+# and modified PKGBUILDs and patches into the target system (replacing
+# stage 1 packages). Stage 1 serves now the same function as the sysroot.
+
+# The goal is to get a self-hosting system on the target architecture,
+# not necesseraly containing all of base and base-devel, but enough to
+# bootstrap itself on the target architecture.
