+This directory contains various useful scripts and tools for working
+with Buildroot. You need not add this directory in your PATH to use
+any of those tools, but you may do so if you want.
+
+brmake
+    a script that can be run instead of make, that prepends the date in
+    front of each line, redirects all of the build output to a file
+    ("'br.log' in the current directory), and just outputs the Buildroot
+    messages (those lines starting with >>>) on stdout.
+    Do not run this script for interactive configuration (e.g. menuconfig)
+    or on an unconfigured directory. The output is redirected so you will see
+    nothing.
+
+check-package
+    a script that checks the coding style of a package's Config.in and
+    .mk files, and also tests them for various types of typoes.
+
+genrandconfig
+    a script that generates a random configuration, used by the autobuilders
+    (http://autobuild.buildroot.org). It selects a random toolchain from
+    support/config-fragments/autobuild and randomly selects packages to build.
+
+get-developpers
+    a script to return the list of people interested in a specific part
+    of Buildroot, so they can be Cc:ed on a mail. Accepts a patch as
+    input, a package name or and architecture name.
+
+scancpan
+    a script to create a Buildroot package by scanning a CPAN module
+    description.
+
+scanpypi
+    a script to create a Buildroot package by scanning a PyPI package
+    description.
+
+size-stats-compare
+    a script to compare the rootfs size between two different Buildroot
+    configurations. This can be used to identify the size impact of
+    a specific option, of a set of specific options, or of an update
+    to a newer Buildroot version...
+
+test-pkg
+    a script that tests a specific package against a set of various
+    toolchains, with the goal to detect toolchain-related dependencies
+    (wchar, threads...)
