-This package is derived from the standard gcc package in Ubuntu, the patches
-from mspgcc.sf.net, the mspgcc build script and the tinyos msp430 build script.
+The msp430-gcc package is:
+
+* Derived from the official GNU gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz available on any
+ GNU mirror, such as http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz.
+
+* Includes patches from mspgcc.sf.net. mspgcc.sf.net maintains much of its
+ changes to the gcc as a sparse tree for each version. The dpatch patch named
+ debian/patches/002-mspgcc-3.2.3-20080819.dpatch contains the modifications
+ to standard gcc-3.2.3 as a result of applying the mspgcc sparse tree from
+ their CVS checked out at date 2008-08-19. mspgcc CVS is available via
+ pserver at anonymous@mspgcc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mspgcc in the
+ gcc-3.3 module. Yes, the gcc-3.3 module is actually for gcc-3.2.x.
+
+* The dpatch patch named
+ debian/patches/003-mspgcc-3.2.3-20080819-FUNCTION.dpatch contains the patch
+ also provided in mspgcc.sf.net in the packaging module in patches/.
