+# NVIDIA Container Toolkit Release Tooling
+
+This repository allows for the components of the NVIDIA container stack to be
+built and released as the NVIDIA Container Toolkit from a single repository. The components:
+* `libnvidia-container`
+* `nvidia-container-runtime`
+* `nvidia-docker`
+are included as submodules in the `third_party` folder.
+
+The `nvidia-container-toolkit` resides in this repo directly.
+
+## Building
+
+In oder to build the packages, the following command is executed
+```sh
+./scripts/build-all.sh TARGET
+```
+where `TARGET` is a make target that is valid for each of the sub-components.
+
+These include:
+* `ubuntu18.04-amd64`
+* `docker-all`
+with the later generating for all supported distribution and platform combinations.
+
+The packages are generated in the `dist` folder.
+
+## Testing local changes
+
+In oder to use the same build logic to be used to generate packages with local changes,
+the location of the individual components can be overridded using the: `LIBNVIDIA_CONTAINER_ROOT`,
+`NVIDIA_CONTAINER_TOOLKIT_ROOT`, `NVIDIA_CONTAINER_RUNTIME_ROOT`, and `NVIDIA_DOCKER_ROOT`
+environment variables.
+
+## Testing packages locally
+
+### Ubuntu
+
+Launch a docker container:
+
+```
+docker run --rm -it \
+    -v $(pwd):/work \
+    -v $(pwd)/dist/ubuntu18.04/amd64:/local-repository \
+    -w /work \
+        ubuntu:18.04
+```
+
+
+```
+apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-utils
+```
+
+```
+echo "deb [trusted=yes] file:/local-repository/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/local.list
+```
+
+```
+cd /local-repository && apt-ftparchive packages . > Packages
+```
+
+```
+apt-get update
+```
+
+
+
+### Centos
+
+```
+    docker run --rm -it \
+        -v $(pwd):/work \
+        -v $(pwd)/dist/centos8/x86_64:/local-repository \
+        -w /work \
+            centos:8
+```
+
+```
+yum install -y createrepo
+```
+
+```
+createrepo /local-repository
+```
+
+```
+cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo <<EOL
+[local]
+name=NVIDIA Container Toolkit Local Packages
+baseurl=file:///local-repository
+enabled=1
+gpgcheck=0
+protect=1
