 * The Emacs jobset consists of the following jobs:
 
 ** The `tarball' job
-which gets the source tree as input, and is just a `make dist' after
-some autoconf/-make or bootstrap script.
+which gets a checkout from bzr, and does a bootstrap followed
+by running make-dist to create a tarball.  If this job fails, all the
+others will too (because they use the tarball as input).
 
 ** The `build' job
-which gets the result of the tarball job as input, together with
-system identifier, this job basically does a normal make and make install.
+which starts from the tarball and does a normal build
 
 ** The 'coverage' job
-is now running `make check'.
+does a gcov build and then runs `make check'.  Fails if any test fails.
