 Building your own FRRouting Debian Package
 ==========================================
-(Tested on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, 16.04 and Debian 8)
+(Tested on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, 16.04, 17.10, Debian 8 and 9)
+
+**Note:**  If you try to build for a different distro, then it will most likely
+fail because of the missing backport. See debianpkg/backports/README about
+adding a new backport.
 
 1. Follow the package installation as outlined in doc/Building_on_XXXX.md
    (XXXX refers your OS Distribution) to install the required build packages
 
 2. Install the following additional packages:
 
-        apt-get install realpath equivs groff fakeroot debhelper
+        apt-get install realpath equivs groff fakeroot debhelper devscripts
 
 3. Checkout FRR under a **unpriviledged** user account
 
         git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+        cd frr
+	# git checkout <branch>    - if different branch than master
 
 4. Run Bootstrap and make distribution tar.gz
 
-        cd frr
         ./bootstrap.sh
         ./configure --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyDebPkgVersion
         make dist
