 ## How It's Made
 
-The rootfs tarballs for this image are built using [the reproducible-Debian-rootfs tool, `debuerreotype`](https://github.com/debuerreotype/debuerreotype), with an explicit goal being that they are transparent and reproducible. Using the same toolchain, it should be possible to regenerate (clean-room!) the same tarballs used for building the official Debian images.

[The `build.sh` script in that debuerreotype repository](https://github.com/debuerreotype/debuerreotype/blob/master/build.sh) (and the `build-all.sh` companion/wrapper) is the canonical entrypoint used for creating the artifacts published in this image.
 
-Additionally, the scripts in [%%GITHUB-REPO%%](%%GITHUB-REPO%%) are used to create each tag's `Dockerfile` and collect architecture-specific tarballs into a single place (for placement into [`dist-ARCH` branches on the same repository](%%GITHUB-REPO%%/branches), which also contain extra metadata about the artifacts included in each build, such as explicit package versions).

+For convenience, the SHA256 checksum (and full build command) for each of the primary `rootfs.tar.xz` artifacts are also published at [docker.debian.net](https://docker.debian.net/).
