+==============================================
+ Running a GTK+ build slave under daemontools
+==============================================
+
+This directory contains several scripts which can be used to run a WebKitGTK+
+build slave under daemontools [1]. This is convenient because daemontools
+will automatically restart services when they die, and that means less human
+intervention is needed.
+
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+In order to use the provided service control files, you will need the
+following:
+
+* The GNU Bash shell (the scripts contain some bash-isms)
+
+* The daemontools package (or one of its drop-in replacements, like runit
+  or freedt; but only daemontools has been tested so far).
+
+* The crash dump monitor also uses "inotifywait" (part of inotify-tools [2])
+
+In short, in a Debian-based system you can ensure you have the needed bits
+with the following command:
+
+  apt-get install inotify-tools daemontools-run
+
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+1. Follow the instructions at http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildBot
+
+2. Install the dependencies outlined above.
+
+3. Copy "daemontools-buildbot.conf" to "/etc/daemontools-buildbot.conf"
+
+4. Edit the configuration file to suit your needs, the comments should
+   be self-explanatory.
+
+5. Drop the "buildbot", "pulseaudio" and "xvfb" directories (plus
+   "crashmon", if desired) to the service control directory of
+   daemontools; for Debian-based setups that would be "/etc/service"
