+Fetching CVS:
+------------
+
+* To fetch the current CVS code run this commands:
+
+    mkdir somewhere/BackupPC
+    cd somewhere/BackupPC
+    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.backuppc.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co BackupPC
+
+* To fetch the CVS code tagged at a particular release (eg: v1.5.0):
+
+    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.backuppc.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/backuppc co -r v1_5_0 BackupPC
+
+Building an installable release from the source:
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+* Edit makeDist and set the version number and release date
+
+* Update makeDist and configure.pl if you add any new files to the release.
+
+* Run makeDist.  makeDist merges the version number, release date and turns
+  all the library paths etc back into the symbolic form (eg: __INSTALLDIR__)
+  so that configure.pl will do the right thing.
+
+* You should now have a sub-directory dist/BackupPC-version containing
+  the release and a tar ball dist/BackupPC-version.tar.gz.  The tar
+  ball can be copied, extracted and installed like any BackupPC release.
