+# Build System
+
+The build system we're using, mage, has been introduced with four targets; testing it involves invoking them and looking at their output.
+
+## Versioning
+
+All the targets that produce a binary should inject version information on it, which can be inspected by running the executable with the `-version` flag.
+
+If built outside a repository, or without the `git` executable in the path, it should report the version `UNKNOWN`.
+
+If built in a repository where uncommitted changes are present, the version should report a version with `+dirty`
+
+Version reported for a proper git repository with the `git` executable present in the path should be `0.0.0-branch_name/commit_hash`, where the version number is fixed but the branch name reflects the current branch and the commit hash likewise the current commit's hash.
+
+## Magefile build system
+
+Once the V1 implementation reaches the stage of testable binaries, we are looking to use [Mage](https://magefile.org/) which is being tracked in [pocket/issues/43](https://github.com/pokt-network/pocket/issues/43) that'll inject a version with the `-version` flag.

-# Mage
-
-We currently depend on [mage](https://magefile.org/) as a build tool.
-
-We wanted to reduce the possibility of human error in the creation of releases and get information about the source of the binary for troubleshooting scenarios.
-
-To introduce automation in version generation there are several strategies, the simplest of which involves setting the version information at build time through flags sent to the Go toolchain linker.
-
-Generating version information in general, and generating releases in particular, will use algorithms that can vary in complexity and amount of tasks automated.
-
-In order to facilitate usage for the whole team, choosing a tool that is programmed in Go instead of a domain specific language seems sensible.
-
-Usage in this case means:
-
-- Ease of understanding the algorithms used for targets
-- Ease of adding targets
-- Ease of modifying targets
-
-Hence, mage.
-
-## Risk Assessment
-
-### On the plus side
-
-- Mage is licensed with Apache 2.0, implying that the copyright burdens of using it and even maintain a fork if it came to that are manageable
-- Mage is used by Hugo, which is a big project unrelated to the maintainer; this hints at a group of people that will want to keep the project viable besides us (hugo has over 700 contributors)
-- Mage 1.0 was released in 2017, and has seen releases often (18 at the time of writing); it is, therefore, relatively mature and seems healthy development activity wise
-- Being a build tool, not part of the meat of the project, the impact of risks in the future of the tool are mitigated
-
-### On the minus side
-
-- The maintainer does not include information for support contracts, although they accept donations.

-# Testing the Build System
-The build system we're using, mage, has been introduced with four targets; testing it involves invoking them and looking at their output.
-
-## Version
-
-All the targets that produce a binary should inject version information on it, which can be inspected by running the executable with the `-version` flag.
-
-If built outside a repository, or without the `git` executable in the path, it should report version `UNKNOWN`.
-
-If built in a repository where uncommitted changes are present, the version should report a version with `+dirty`
-
-Version reported for a proper git repository with the `git` executable present in the path should be `0.0.0-branchname/commithash`, where the version number is fixed but the branchname reflects the current branch and the commit hash likewise the current commit's hash.
-
-## Listing Targets
-
-running `mage -l` should show the 4 targets with brief descriptions for each.
-
-## Install
-
-Running `mage install` should make it so that the `pocket` binary lives in `$GOPATH/bin/`.
-
-## Uninstall
-
-Running `mage uninstall` after running `mage install` should remove the `pocket` binary from `$GOPATH/bin/`.
-
-## Build
-
-Running `mage build` should attempt to build the project; if it is successful, the `pocket` binary should be placed in the repository's `bin/` directory.
-
-## Build Race
-
-Running `buildRace` should attempt to build the project; if it is successful, the `pocket` binary should be placed in the repository's `bin/` directory.
-
-The version for a binary built with this target should contain `+race`.
