                    Caffe for Debian
                    ================
 
- In short, package "Caffe" for Debian is designed as following 2
- suites, which are conflicting with each other[1] (i.e. you cannot 
- install them together on your system):
+ In short, package "Caffe" for Debian is compiled as 2 sets of packages,
+ but the two sets are not co-installable. [1]
 
-  * Caffe-CPU suite:
+  * Caffe-CPU: (configured as CPU_ONLY)
 
-    - caffe-cpu
-	- libcaffe-cpu0     (i.e. libcaffe-cpu${SOVERSION})
-	- libcaffe-cpu-dev
-	- python-caffe-cpu
+    * caffe-cpu          -- command line utilities
+	* libcaffe-cpu*      -- core library
+	* libcaffe-cpu-dev   -- development files
+	* python-caffe-cpu   -- python2 interface
  
-  * Caffe-CUDA suite:
+  * Caffe-CUDA: (compiled with CUDA)
 
-    - caffe-cuda
-    - libcaffe-cuda0     (i.e. libcaffe-cuda${SOVERSION})
-    - libcaffe-cuda-dev
-    - python-caffe-cuda
+    * caffe-cuda
+    * libcaffe-cuda*
+    * libcaffe-cuda-dev
+    * python-caffe-cuda
 
- Where 
+ Happy Deep Learning ! :-)
 
-  - caffe-{cpu,cuda} are the command line interface of caffe
-  - libcaffe* are the core shared library of caffe
-  - libcaffe-*-dev are the development files of caffe (incl. headers)
-  - python-caffe-* are the python2 interfaces of caffe
 
- So pick a suite and enjoy Deep Learning ! :-)
+                   Custom Build of Caffe
+                   =====================
 
+ Compiling caffe locally may bring better machine performance.
+ Inspired by Debian's OpenBLAS packaging, I provid 2 custom targets for
+ users to build customized caffe Packages for local use:
 
-                   Custom Build Caffe
-                   ==================
+  * custom-cpu
+  * custom-cuda
 
- As we know, for computation-intensive applications such as caffe,
- compiling it locally would bring you better machine performance.
- Inspired by Debian's OpenBLAS packaging, the packager [A] of caffe
- provided 2 custom targets for you to build customed local Debian 
- Package of caffe: "custom-cpu" and "custom-cuda".
+ Instructions for doing local custom build:
 
- Instructions for doing local custom build [2]:
+  1. Install Build-Dependencies, including Debian packaging utils.
 
-  1. Install Debian Packaging toolchain:
-     $ apt install build-essential debhelper devscripts
+     * Packaging helpers:
 
-  2. Install Build-Dependencies:
-     $ apt-get build-dep caffe    <- this may work in the future[3]
+       $ apt install build-essential debhelper devscripts
 
-	 Currently please follow this work-around:
-	 * Take a look at debian/control
-	 * Satisfy build dependencies manually........
+     * Build-Dependencies:
 
-  3. Have a look at tail part of debian/rules, and tweak some
-     variables as you need:
-     (please note that debian/rules is a Makefile)
+       $ apt-get build-dep caffe
 
-     * CUSTOM_JOBS   := "-j4"
-       This is the "--jobs" argument passed to "make", by default I
-       set it to 4 jobs.
+	   Or install build-dependencies manually, the dependency information
+       is stored at debian/control.
+
+  2. [Can skip] Have a look at the tail part of debian/rules, and tweak some
+     variables as long as you need. (note that debian/rules is a Makefile)
+     Here are some hints:
+
+     * CUSTOM_JOBS   := "-j5"
+       Parallel compiling jobs, i.e. make -j5
 
      * CONFFLAG_CPU_CUSTOM = ...
-       Only tweak this when you are going to customize the
-       caffe-cpu suite, and this variable stores cmake options.
+       Tweak this when you like to compile the caffe-cpu set,
+       and this variable stores cmake options.
 
      * CONFFLAG_CUDA_CUSTOM = ...
-       Only tweak this when you are going to customize the
-       caffe-cuda suite, and this variable stores cmake options.
+       Tweak this when you like to compile the caffe-cuda set,
+       and this variable stores cmake options.
 
-  4. Start compiling:
-     (make sure you are stading at the root of source tree)
+  3. Start compiling. (make sure you are in the root of source tree)
 
-     If you are going to compile caffe-cpu suite:
+     Compiling caffe-cpu set:
        $ debian/rules custom-cpu
 
-     If you are going to compile caffe-cuda suite:
+     Compiling caffe-cuda set:
        $ debian/rules custom-cuda
 
-     By the default custom options, it should finely build packages.
-     However there's no any promise that the custom build will work,
-     Especially after tweaked.
-
-  5. Install freshly cooked Caffe Package:
-     * change directory to the parent directory of source tree root
-	   $ cd ..
-     * see the build result
-       $ ls	*.deb
-
-     If nothing went wrong, install them running [4]
-	 $ sudo dpkg -i libcaffe-*.deb
-     $ sudo dpkg -i caffe-* python*
-
-  6. Done.
+     The default custom configuration is tested, however there's no
+     promise that the custom build will not fail.
 
-           
-                   Bump Python2 to Python3
-                   ============================
-
- 1. with patch
- -------------
-
-  Yes, it is possible to make python-caffe (python3 interface) packages
-  from this source.
- 
-   $ cd <source_root>
-   $ patch -p1 < debian/patches/unapplied/bump*.patch
- 
-  Then please do a custom build following the guide above.
+  4. Installing fresh Caffe Package
 
-  NOTICE: that patch may be a little out of date.
-          Hence extra manual edit may be need.
+     * check the resulting packages
+       $ ls	../*.deb
 
- 2. Manually
- -----------
+     If nothing went wrong, install them by running [2]
+	   $ sudo dpkg -i libcaffe-*.deb
+       $ sudo dpkg -i caffe-*.deb python-caffe-*.deb
 
-  When manually bumping python version, please make sure to edit these
-  files properly:
-
-   * file: debian/control
-     Carefully edit these entries:
-
-     + Build-deps
-     + X-Python-Version
-     + Short description and Description
-     + Depends
-     + Conflicts
-
-   * file: debian/python*.*
-     Change name of "python-*.*" to "python3-*.*"
-     And change python*.install to the right place:
-
-     e.g.
-	 + For python2.7 -> usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
-     + For python3.4 -> usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/
-
-   * file: cmake files
-     May need to hack some CMake files to let it pass the build.
-
-  Then do the custom build as said above.
+  5. Grab some image datasets and deep network prototxt and have fun.
