+
+# Runs the daily build of the Python docs on dinsdale.python.org.
+#
+# Usages:
+#
+#   dailybuild.py
+#
+# without any arguments builds docs for all branches configured in the global
+# BRANCHES value.
+#
+#   dailybuild.py [-d] <checkout> <target>
+#
+# builds one version, where <checkout> is an SVN checkout directory of the
+# Python branch to build docs for, and <target> is the directory where the
+# result should be placed.  If -d is given, the docs are built even if the
+# branch is in development mode (i.e. version contains a, b or c).
+#
+# This script is not run from the checkout, so if you want to change how the
+# daily build is run, you must replace it on dinsdale.  This is necessary, for
+# example, after the release of a new minor version.
