-Baserock reference system definitions
-=====================================
-
-Baserock is a system for developing embedded and appliance Linux systems. For
-more information, see <http://wiki.baserock.org>.
-
-These are some example definitions for use with Baserock tooling. You can fork
-this repo and develop your own systems directly within it, or use it as a
-reference point when developing your own set of definitions.
-
-The systems listed in the elements/systems/ directory are example systems
-that build and run at some point. The only ones we can be sure
-that still build in current master of definitions are the ones that
-we keep building in our ci system; they are listed in
-http://git.baserock.org/cgit/baserock/baserock/definitions.git/tree/clusters/ci.morph
-
-BuildStream conversions
------------------------
-
-It is possible to use BuildStream to build Baserock definitions. The
-BuildStream build tool uses a different definitions format, so a conversion
-needs to be done first.
-
-Run the `convert` script from the root of the repository and you will be
-rewarded with an autogenerated set of .bst files in the elements/ subdirectory
-which should be buildable using BuildStream.
-
-To run `convert`, you will need defs2bst and ybd. The following commands, run
-from the root of the repository, should be enough to do a conversion:
-
-    git clone https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/defs2bst/
-    git clone https://gitlab.com/baserock/ybd/
-    ./convert
-
-You can then build e.g. a devel-system using BuildStream:
-
-    bst build systems/devel-system-content.bst
-
-Some things are not supported by the BuildStream conversion tool, and will need
-to be manually dealt with.
-
-  * the build-essential stratum isn't automatically converted, the
-    elements/gnu-toolchain.bst element is its equivalent and needs to be
-    manually kept in sync with any changes
-
-  * .configure and .write extensions need to be rewritten as BuildStream
-    elements
-
-  * non-x86_64 systems aren't automatically converted; BuildStream supports
-    "arch conditionals" which should make it easier for a single tree of .bst
-    files to support many platforms, but it's not easy to automatically achieve
-    this in places like linux.bst where Baserock currently has many different
-    equivalents
