+The Dockerfile in this directory sets up an Ubuntu Trusty image ready to build
+a variety of Android branches (>= Lollipop). It's particulary useful to build
+older branches that required 14.04 if you've upgraded to something newer.
+
+First, build the image:
+```
+# Copy your host gitconfig, or create a stripped down version
+$ cp ~/.gitconfig gitconfig
+$ docker build --build-arg userid=$(id -u) --build-arg groupid=$(id -g) --build-arg username=$(id -un) -t android-build-trusty .
+```
+
+Then you can start up new instances with:
+```
+$ docker run -it --rm -v $ANDROID_BUILD_TOP:/src android-build-trusty
+> cd /src; source build/envsetup.sh
+> lunch aosp_arm-eng
+> m -j50
+```
