+This file explains the automated jobs that live in this directory and keep MacPorts running at the server level,
+added to the basic mail, mailman, www, trac & svn services:
+
+ 1) mprsyncup:
+    Runs on Mac OS Forge servers every 30 minutes, on the hour and on the half hour, off launchd through the org.macports.mprsyncup.plist provided.
+    Repopulates the rsync modules that feed the "sync" and "selfupdate" operations for both the ports tree and MacPorts sources, freshly off the svn
+    sources.
+
+ 2) PortIndexRegen:
+    Still running on Daniel's box, twice a day every 12 hours off cron. Scheduled for a rewrite in Tcl to employ the macports1.0 API and thus simplify
+    some of its tasks. Once that's done it'll be moved to Mac OS Forge servers. This job regenerates the ports' index employed by operations like "port search".
+
+ 3) PortIndex2MySQL:
+    Running Mac OS Forge servers twice a day every 12 hours off launchd through the org.macports.PortIndex2MySQL.plist provided, 15 minutes after the
+    PortIndexRegen job. This jobs repopulates the database that feeds the www.macports.org/ports.php page off the regenerated PortIndex.
+
+ 4) GuideRegen:
+    Running on Mac OS Forge servers as an svn post-commit hook after commits to the /trunk/doc-new dir take place. Regenerates the project guide found at
+    http://guide.macports.org
+
+ 5) Website:
+    There's actually no script for this one, as the job itself is really simple: a post-commit svn hook attached to the /trunk/www dir
+    updates the copy of our website on the Mac OS Forge web server whenever a commit to that directory occurs.
