+   libvirt Builder
+   ================
+
+The libvirt-builder package provides an API to bind together the
+libvirt-designer and libvirt-gobject APIs, to actually automate some
+of the lifecycle management and VM provisioning tasks.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+The libvirt-builder package uses GNU autotools, so the build install
+process follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file.
+As a quick start you can do
+
+  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
+        --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
+  make
+  sudo make install
+
+Or to install into a private user specific location
+
+  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/libvirt-builder
+  make
+  make install
+
+The following mandatory dependencies are required in order to
+build libvirt-builder
+
+  libvirt-gconfig  >= @LIBVIRT_GCONFIG_REQUIRED@ (part of libvirt-glib project releases)
+  libosinfo        >= @LIBOSINFO_REQUIRED@
+
+
+Communication
+-------------
+
+To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
+there is a technical mailing list:
+
+   https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
+
+End user support can be found at
+
+   https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
