Distribution quote of the week

I think you are looking for the same thing a lot of people are wanting: A detailed "How the henry do I do this locally without using your buildsystem?" howto. Followed by "how to I use this for my own build system." and then "How do I do integrate this with some other system?" I am saying this because I see a lot of the frustration and venting seems to be that this information isn't easily found if it exists. I think that until such stuff is written, then we can get to informed frustrations of 'why did you do it this way?'
