+How do I set up an autobuild environment?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you want to set up a system like link:http://daily.grml.org/[daily.grml.org]
+the Debian package grml-live-buildd provides all you need to start. Start with
+figuring out the cron job script /usr/share/grml-live/buildd/cronjob.sh.
+
+If you want to automatically update the grml-live Debian package on your build
+system based on the git tree of grml-live (so you get bleeding edge of
+development which might is interesting for services like daily.grml.org) the
+provided release_helper.sh script provides everything you need. Execute as root:
+
+  echo "deb file:/home/grml-live-git/grml-live.build-area/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml-live.list
+  adduser --disabled-login --disabled-password grml-live-git
+
+Execute 'visudo' to update sudo configuration and add the following line:
+
+  grml-live-git ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get
+
+Switch to user grml-live-git and configure the rest:
+
+  su - grml-live-git
+  mkdir grml-live.build-area
+  git clone git://git.grml.org/grml-live.git
+  git config --global user.name "Grml-Live Git Autobuild"
+  git config --global user.email "grml-live-git@$(hostname)"
+
+Finally install a cron job (as user grml-live-git) like:
+
+  30 00 * * * cd /home/grml-live-git/grml-live.git/ && env AUTOBUILD=1 scripts/release_helper.sh >/home/grml-live-git/grml-live-build.log
+
+Tip: To find out the build date of the installed grml-live package just execute:
+
+  % apt-cache policy grml-live | grep 'Installed.*autobuild'
+   Installed: 0.13.1~autobuild1300450381
+
+and run "date -ud @$STRING" where $STRING is the number behind the "autobuild",
+like:
+
+  % date -ud @1300450081
+  Fri Mar 18 12:08:01 UTC 2011
