+================
+Onedir Packaging
+================
+
+Relenv onedir packagig
+======================
+
+Starting in 3006, only onedir packaging will be available. The 3006 onedir packages
+are built with the `relenv <https://github.com/saltstack/relative-environment-for-python>`_ tool.
+
+How to build rpm packages
+=========================
+
+You only need to run rpmbuild in the Salt repo:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # rpmbuild -bb --define="_salt_src $(pwd)" $(pwd)/pkg/rpm/salt.spec
+
+
+How to build deb packages
+=========================
+
+You only need to add a symlink and run debuild in the Salt repo:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # ln -s pkg/deb/debian debian
+    # debuild -uc -us
+
+
+How to access python binary
+===========================
+
+The python library is available in the install directory of the onedir package. For example
+on linux the default location would be ``/opt/saltstack/salt/bin/python3``.
