set. It is used by Adélie Linux for package building to create the repository
used by Adélie's APK package manager.
+This is a *hard fork* of Alpine's ``abuild`` package, with notable and
+significant improvements:
+
+* Recursive mode is retained.
+
+* Forced secure mode for ``abuild-fetch``, preventing MITM attacks during
+ source fetch.
+
+* More CPU architectures are supported.
+
+* Better (though still incomplete) support for non-Bash shells.
+
+More improvements are forthcoming.
