-This is the README file for dak version -1.
+dak is the collection of programs used to maintain the Debian
+project's archives. It's not yet in a state where it can be easily
+used by others; if you want something to maintain a small archive and
+apt-ftparchive (from the apt-utils package) is insufficient, I strongly
+recommend you investigate mini-dinstall, debarchiver or similar.
+However, if you insist on trying to try using dak, please read the
+documentation in 'doc/README.first'.
-dak is the collection of programs used to maintain the Debian GNU
-project archive.
+There are some manual pages and READMEs in the doc sub-directory. The
+TODO file is an incomplete list of things needing to be done.
-See TODO for an incomplete list of things needing to be done.
+There's a mailing list for discussion, development of and help with
+dak. See:
-See the file NEWS for user-visible changes since the last version.
+ http://mailman.nocrew.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dak-disc
-See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
+for archives and details on how to subscribe.
-dak is used on the following platforms :-
-
-Linux/i386 2.2
-Linux/Sparc 2.4
+dak is developed and used on Linux but will probably work under any
+UNIX since it's almost entirely python and shell scripts.
