 The \c{builds} value consists of an optional underlying class set
 (\c{<class-uset>}) followed by a class set expression (\c{<class-expr>}). The
 underlying set is a space-separated list of class names that define the set of
-build configurations to consider. If not specified, then all the
+build target configurations to consider. If not specified, then all the
 configurations belonging to the \c{default} class are assumed. The class set
 expression can then be used to exclude certain configurations from this
 initial set.
 
 The class expression is a space-separated list of terms that are evaluated
 from left to right. The first character of each term determines whether the
-build configuration that belong to its set are added to (\c{+}), subtracted
-from (\c{-}), or intersected with (\c{&}) the current set. If the second
-character in the term is \c{!}, then its set of configuration is inverted
-against the underlying set. The term itself can be either the class name or a
-parenthesized expression. Some examples (based on the

+The package build configurations where the substring matched by \c{*} in
+\c{*-build-config} denotes the configuration name. If specified, then the
+package is built in these configurations by automated build bots in addition
+to the default configuration (which is called \c{default}).
+
+The \c{*-build-config} values contain whitespace separated lists of
+potentially double/single-quoted package configuration arguments to the
+\l{bpkg-pkg-build(1)} command. For example:
+
+\
+network-build-config: config.libfoo.network=true; Enable networking API.

+
+The package build configuration can also override the common build target
+configurations set (specified with \l{#manifest-package-builds \c{builds}} and
+\l{#manifest-package-include-exclude \c{build-{include, exclude\}}}) by
+specifying the matching \c{*-builds} and/or \c{*-build-{include, exclude\}}
+values. For example:
+
+\
+network-builds: linux; Only supported on Linux.
+network-build-config: config.libfoo.network=true; Enable networking API.
+\
+
+Note that the common build target configurations set is overridden
+hierarchically meaning that the \c{*-build-{include, exclude\}} overrides
+don't discard the common \c{builds} values.
+
+The default configuration should normally build the package with no
+configuration arguments and for the common target build configurations
+set. While not recommended, this can be overridden by using the special
+\c{default} configuration name. For example:
