 == Building a Package with "haikuporter" ==
 
-`haikuporter` is a high level tool for building packages. As input it reads a build recipe file for a certain version of a software (aka port) and produces one or more packages, as declared in the recipe. A recipe specifies package requirements similar to how it is done in a `.PackageInfo` file. When asked to build a port, `haikuporter` resolves the respective dependencies and recursively builds all not-yet-built ports required for the requested port. `haikuporter` itself and a large library of recipe files are hosted at [http://ports.haiku-files.org/ HaikuPorts].

-=== The Build Recipe File ===
-
-For a particular version of a port a recipe file specifies what packages shall be built for that port and it provides all required information for that purpose. A recipe file is named according to the pattern "<portname>-<version>.recipe". The <version> component complies to `version_ref`, though without the revision component. The revision is specified in the recipe itself. It is incremented whenever the recipe itself or a Haiku specific patch for the port changes. A recipe file is a shell script. It is sourced (shell lingo for included) by `haikuporter`. It must set several shell variables and functions that are interpreted and used by `haikuporter`. A set of other variables and functions that can be used in the recipe is defined by `haikuporter` before sourcing it.
