 ### Using locally built packages
-Except for `ggml` itself, pbuilder/cowbuilder needs to be configured appropriately
+Except for the `ggml` layer itself, pbuilder/cowbuilder needs to be configured appropriately
  in order to use either a local repository with the `ggml` packages you just built,
  or a remote repository with the required `ggml`-related packages.
 
-To configure a local repository, update `/etc/pbuilderrc`. For example:
+Below is a basic approach to configure a local repository, as an illustration
+ to be adapted to your own build infrastructure and procedures.

+Update `/etc/pbuilderrc`. For example:

        BINDMOUNTS="/srv/repo/deb/bullseye/ml/1.1 /srv/repo/deb/bookworm/ml/1.1 /srv/repo/deb/sid/ml/1.1"

+Apply the same procedure for the `build-pbuilder` script by editing build-pbuilder.settings:

 ## Development ##
 When developing the packaging, cd to a layer directory and [use git-buildpackage as usual](https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/).
