+Patches
+=======
+
 This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream
 source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in
 debian/patches and applied during the build.
 
 For more information about quilt, see /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source
+
+Creating orig.tar.gz
+====================
+
+The orig.tar.gz contains both the "packaging" ("eclipse-build") source
+from "Linux Tools" eclipse subproject as well as "eclipse" source code
+modified by the Linux Tools subproject.
+
+Constructing the orig.tar.gz is done via the following steps:
+ * Fetch the eclipse-build from Linux Tools. [1]
+ * Fetch and extract the "fetched-src" tarball from eclipse-build into
+   a folder called eclipse-$VERSION; this folder should be a subdir of
+   the eclipse-build sources fetched in the previous step.
+   (See watch file or [1] for a link).
+ * tar gzip it.
+
+The tree should look like this (excluding "uninteresting" files
+and folders):
+
+eclipse-build/ # svn checkout or extracted from tar.gz
+|-- eclipse-build-config/ # Separate svn checkout
+|-- eclipse-build-feature/ # Separate svn checkout
+|-- eclipse-$VERSION/ #The extracted "fetched-src"
+`-- <files/dirs from eclipse-build> # "uninteresting" files/dirs.
+
+The folder called "eclipse-build" here should be root of the tar.gz.
+
+[1] The Debian package uses svn checkout, see link below.
+
+There also normal tar.gz's available from Linux Tools; though their
+usefulness may be rather limited due to the package here being based
+on svn snapshots.
+
+There is more information about compiling eclipse using Linux Tools'
+eclipse-build along with URLs for svn and source download links:
+http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Eclipse_Build
