 == Project-specific customization
 
-The following sections describe the various way in which you can
-customize Buildroot for a given project.
+Typical actions you may need to perform for a given project are:
 
-For instructions on how to add new packages to Buildroot, refer to
-xref:adding-packages[]
+- configuring Buildroot (including build options and toolchain,
+  bootloader, kernel, package and filesystem image type selection)
+- configuring other components, like the Linux kernel and BusyBox
+- adding project-specific patches to some packages (using
+  +BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR+)
+- adding or overwriting files on the target filesystem (using
+  +BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY+)
+- modifying or deleting files on the target filesystem (using
+  +BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT+)
+- running arbitrary commands prior to generating the filesystem image
+  (using +BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT+)
+- running arbitrary commands after generating the filesystem image
+  (using +BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT+)
+- adding project-specific packages
+
+This chapter describes how to make such project-specific customizations
+in Buildroot and how to store them in a way that you can build the same
+image in a reproducible way, even from a clean buildroot tree. By
+following the recommended strategy, you can even use the same Buildroot
+tree to build multiple distinct projects!
