+External tools&programs needed by PyPy
+======================================
+
+Tools needed for testing
+------------------------
+
+These tools are used in various ways by PyPy tests; if they are not found,
+some tests might be skipped, so they need to be installed on every buildbot
+slave to be sure we actually run all tests:
+
+  - Mono (versions 1.2.1.1 and 1.9.1 known to work)
+
+  - Java/JVM (preferably sun-jdk; version 1.6.0 known to work)
+
+  - Jasmin >= 2.2 (copy it from wyvern, /usr/local/bin/jasmin and /usr/local/share/jasmin.jar)
+
+  - gcc
+
+  - Some libraries (these are Debian package names, adapt as needed):
+
+    * ``python-dev``
+    * ``python-ctypes``
+    * ``libffi-dev``
+    * ``libz-dev`` (for the optional ``zlib`` module)
+    * ``libbz2-dev`` (for the optional ``bz2`` module)
+    * ``libncurses-dev`` (for the optional ``_minimal_curses`` module)
+    * ``libgc-dev`` (only when translating with `--opt=0, 1` or `size`)
