+        Welcome to the BitBake User Manual.
+        This manual provides information on BitBake.
+        The information attempts to be as independent as possible regarding
+        systems that use BitBake, such as the Yocto Project and
+        OpenEmbeddeded.
+        In some cases, scenarios or examples that within the context of
+        a build system are used in the manual to help with understanding.
+        For these cases, the manual clearly states the context.
