-Building and Deploying Tool Binaries
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-If you wish to create and distribute your build or you want to archive a build
-you can create a tar file. We term this deploying a build. This is a more
-advanced method for binary packaging and installing of tools.
-
-By default the RTEMS Source Builder installs the built packages directly and
-optionally it can also create a *build set tar file* or a *package tar file*
-per package built. The normal and default behaviour is to let the RTEMS Source
-Builder install the tools. The source will be downloaded, built, installed and
-cleaned up.
-
-The tar files are created with the full build prefix present and if you follow
-the examples given in this documentation the path is absolute. This can cause
-problems if you are installing on a host you do not have super user or
-administrator rights on because the prefix path may references part you do not
-have write access too and tar will not extract the files. You can use the
-``--strip-components`` option in tar if your host tar application supports it
-to remove the parts you do not have write access too or you may need to unpack
-the tar file somewhere and copy the file tree from the level you have write
-access from. Embedding the full prefix path in the tar files lets you know what
-the prefix is and is recommended. For example if
-``/home/chris/development/rtems/4.11`` is the prefix used you cannot change
-directory to the root (``/``) and untar the file because the ``/home`` is root
-access only. To install a tar file you have downloaded into your new machine's
-``Downloads`` directory in your home directoty you would enter:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
- $ cd /somewhere
- $ tar --strip-components=3 -xjf \
- $HOME/Downloads/rtems-4.11-sparc-rtems4.11-1.tar.bz2
-
-A build set tar file is created by adding ``--bset-tar-file`` option to the
-``sb-set-builder`` command::
-
- $ ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --log=l-sparc.txt \
- --prefix=$HOME/development/rtems/4.11 \
