  0 Developer's guide to buildlink3
  =================================
 
 This is a tutorial for pkgsrc developers to understand and to use the
-buildlink3 framework in pkgsrc.

- 1 Changes between buildlink2 and buildlink3
- ===========================================
-
-The buildlink3 framework is a evolutionary descendant of the
-buildlink2 framework that does a better job of adhering to the
-fundamental buildlink principle: only allow the software build
-process to see what we choose to allow it to see.
+buildlink3 framework in pkgsrc.  The buildlink3 framework establishes the
+principle: only allow the software build process to see what we choose to
+allow it to see.
 
 
- 1.1 Better behavior with libtool
- ================================
+ 1 libtool
+ ==============================
 
-One of the biggest problems in buildlink2 is handling packages that
-install libtool archive files for libraries that are also present in
-the base system.  buildlink3 is significantly better at this as it
-more tightly controls where libtool can find libtool archives.  One
-side effect of this is that we no longer need to create fake libtool
-archives to work around cases where the pkgsrc libraries were being
-used instead of the system libraries if they shared the same name.
+The buildlink3 framework handles packages that install libtool archive
+files for libraries that are also present in the base system.  It more
+tightly controls where libtool can find libtool archives.  This reduces
+the number of conflicts between libtool libraries provided by the base
+system and those from pkgsrc.
 
 
- 1.2 New buildlink3.mk file structure
- ====================================
+ 2 buildlink3.mk file structure
+ ==============================
 
-buildlink3.mk files have two major differences over buildlink2.mk
-files.  The first, most noticeable difference is that buildlink3.mk
-generally don't contain a BUILDLINK_FILES definition.  This is
-because buildlink3 automatically determines which files to symlink
-into ${BUILDLINK_DIR} by examining the PLIST of the installed package.
-The second difference is that buildlink3.mk files keep track of how
-"deep" we are in including buildlink3.mk files, and only creates
-dependencies on packages encountered at depth 1.  This means that
-packages that want to add a dependency must directly include the
-buildlink3.mk file for that dependency.
