Just be aware that you are entering unsupported territory,

"Unsupported" means don't ask this mailing list if you have
problems. A good alternative might be:
You can also use "genini" which is meant to be used in place of upset
and is still supported, or rather it still exists in sourceware CVS.

Thank you both for your responses. I appreciate the meaning of
"Unsupported," and I'm sure there must be some history behind
this, but do you mind if I ask why? It seems as though being
able to build and distribute packages easily is a very useful
feature. Was the dropping of support for upset just a push
to move to genini (without any documentation), or is there
really some other approach that I should be pursuing?
