+This directory contains the msgpack source from the upstream repo:
+
+https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c
+
+Current version: cpp-3.1.0 [commit b6803a5fecbe321458faafd6a079dac466614ff9]
+
+UPDATING:
+
+Our in-tree copy of msgpack does not depend on any generated files from the
+upstream build system. Therefore, it should be sufficient to simply overwrite
+the in-tree files one the updated ones from upstream to perform updates.
+
+To simplify this, the in-tree copy can be updated by running
+
+ sh update.sh
+
+from within the third_party/msgpack directory.
+
+If the collection of source files changes, manual updates to moz.build may be
+needed as we don't use the upstream makefiles.
