+Modules
+==========
 
+gnunet-update has 3 modules:
+- packager
+- installer
+- updater
+- [?update service?]
+
+The packager module generates a package (install-pack) which is later used by
+the installer and updater modules.  This package is similar to a tarball with
+some meta data containing signatures for verifying package integrity.
+
+The installer modules installs the software from install-packs.  This
+module should be used first to install software before using the updater
+module.
+
+The updater module updates (or downgrades) software installed with the
+installer module to match the software in the given install-pack.
+
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+gnunet-update needs GNUnet >= 0.9 to build the packager and updater modules.
+This dependency is optional if building only the install module.  However, once
+GNUnet is installed with the install module, it can be used to build packager
+and updater modules.
+
+gnunet-update needs the following autotools for compiling the SVN version:
+- autoconf >= 2.59
+- automake >= 1.11.1
+- libtool  >= 2.2 
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+See `INSTALL' file for installation instructions.
+
 How does it work?
