buildbot-test/README.md: for production one would probably want reverse locations of mp installations (instructions have to be reshuffled a bit and started with how to install macports)

 ## Setting up both buildbot master and slave for testing on localhost
 
-These steps explain how to install buildbot locally for hacking on the infrastructure. This will run both the buildbot master and buildbot slave on localhost. Note the buildbot slave will run in a non-default prefix, to avoid interfering with your installation in /opt/local.
+These steps explain how to install buildbot locally for hacking on the infrastructure. This will run both the buildbot master and buildbot slave on localhost. Note that the buildbot slave will run in a non-default prefix, to avoid interfering with your installation in `/opt/local`.
 
+For a production setup you would probably want the reverse:
+
+  * let the buildbot slave build ports in `/opt/local`
+  * place the auxiliary installation for tools somewhere else, for example under `/opt/mports`
+
+The exact locations can be configured with `config.json.sample`.

 You will need the subversion port in this prefix for tooling, as `/usr/bin/svn` will have problems validating the Subversion server certificate due to a well-known bug in Mac OS X >= 10.7.
