+## Prerequisites
+
+| Package type | Container                              | Tool required                                                   |
+| ------------ | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| RPM          | `ghcr.io/xrplf/ci/rhel-9:gcc-12`       | `rpmbuild`                                                      |
+| DEB          | `ghcr.io/xrplf/ci/ubuntu-jammy:gcc-12` | `dpkg-buildpackage`, `debhelper (>= 13)`, `dh-sequence-systemd` |
+
+## Building packages
+
+### Via CI (recommended)
+
+The `reusable-package.yml` workflow downloads a pre-built `xrpld` binary artifact
+and calls `build_pkg.sh` directly. No CMake configure or build step is needed in
+the packaging job.
+
+### Via CMake (local development)
+
+Configure with the required install prefix, then invoke the target:
+
+```bash
+cmake \
+  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/xrpld \
+  -Dxrpld=ON \
+  -Dtests=OFF \
+  ..
+
+# RPM (in RHEL container):
+cmake --build . --target package-rpm
+
+# DEB (in Debian/Ubuntu container):
+cmake --build . --target package-deb
+```
+
+The `cmake/XrplPackaging.cmake` module gates each target on whether the required
+tool (`rpmbuild` / `dpkg-buildpackage`) is present at configure time, so
+configuring on a host that lacks one simply omits the corresponding target.
+
+`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` must be `/opt/xrpld`; if it is not, both targets are
+skipped with a `STATUS` message.
+
+## How `build_pkg.sh` works
+
+`build_pkg.sh <pkg_type> <src_dir> <build_dir> [version] [pkg_release]` stages
+all files and invokes the platform build tool. It resolves `src_dir` and
+`build_dir` to absolute paths, then calls `stage_common()` to copy the binary,
+config files, and shared support files into the staging area.
+
+### RPM
+
+1. Creates the standard `rpmbuild/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}` tree inside the build directory.
+2. Copies the generated `xrpld.spec` and all source files (binary, configs, service files) into `SOURCES/`.
+3. Runs `rpmbuild -bb`. The spec uses manual `install` commands to place files.
+4. Output: `rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/xrpld-*.rpm`
+
+### DEB
+
+1. Creates a staging source tree at `debbuild/source/` inside the build directory.
+2. Stages the binary, configs, `README.md`, and `LICENSE.md`.
+3. Copies `package/deb/debian/` control files into `debbuild/source/debian/`.
+4. Copies shared service/sysusers/tmpfiles into `debian/` where `dh_installsystemd`, `dh_installsysusers`, and `dh_installtmpfiles` pick them up automatically.
+5. Generates a minimal `debian/changelog` (pre-release versions use `~` instead of `-`).
+6. Runs `dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign`. `debian/rules` uses manual `install` commands.
+7. Output: `debbuild/*.deb` and `debbuild/*.ddeb` (dbgsym package)
+
+## Post-build verification
+
+```bash
+# DEB
+dpkg-deb -c debbuild/*.deb | grep -E 'systemd|sysusers|tmpfiles'
+lintian -I debbuild/*.deb
+
+# RPM
+rpm -qlp rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/*.rpm
+```
+
+## Reproducibility
+
+The following environment variables improve build reproducibility. They are not
+set automatically by `build_pkg.sh`; set them manually if needed:
+
+```bash
+export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(git log -1 --pretty=%ct)
+export TZ=UTC
+export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
+export GZIP=-n
+export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="noautodbgsym reproducible=+fixfilepath"
+```
+
+## TODO
+
+- Port debsigs signing instructions and integrate into CI.
+- Port RPM GPG signing setup (key import + `%{?_gpg_sign}` in spec).
+- Introduce a virtual package for key rotation.
