 The [doodle-docker](https://git.kirsle.net/apps/doodle-docker) repo will
 be more up-to-date than the instructions below.
 
+The `bootstrap.py` script should attempt to git clone most dependencies into a
+folder named `deps/` relative to the root of the doodle repo. For example,
+`deps/render` would be a git clone of `git.kirsle.net/go/render`. By updating
+Doodle's go.mod file to replace these dependencies, you can produce a fully
+self-contained source directory that can fully build the app. The
+[Flatpak repo](#flatpak-for-linux) makes use of this. Below is how you would
+do this process very manually:
