Briefly describe how buildinfo information is recorded in various ecosystems,
where possible linking to the documentation for those systems themselves.

+## File Format
 
 Everything that is recorded is stored best as a separate build product that can
 be easily ignored or distributed separately. This will help identify which
 variation is irrelevant to the software itself.
+
+This product is called the 'buildinfo', but its exact format and the way it is
+distributed differs across ecosystems.
+
+### Debian
+
+Debian shares its buildinfo files as plain text files following the
+[control file format](https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html),
+usually clearsigned with OpenPGP. A detailed description of the expected
+fields and values, as well as conventions around naming, can be found under
+[ReproducibleBuilds/BuildinfoFiles](https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/BuildinfoFiles)
+on the [Debian wiki](https://wiki.debian.org). Examples can be found on
+[buildinfo.debian.net](https://buildinfo.debian.net).
+
+### Arch Linux
+
+The Arch Linux [makepkg](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg) build
+tool produces a `.BUILDINFO` file consisting of `<key> = <value>` pairs.
+
+Unlike on Debian, this file is not independently signed and distributed, but
+included into the package (and thus signed as part of the package signature).
+An example can be found by downloading any Arch package built with a recent
+version of [makepkg](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg), such as
+[archlinux-keyring](
+https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/archlinux-keyring).
+
+### Tails
+
+Tails does not record a buildinfo file per se, but instead the
+[vagrant directory of the main git repo](
+https://gitlab.com/Tails/tails/tree/master/vagrant) contains all information
+necessary to reproducibly rebuild that revision of Tails.
