-Files in this directory are for creating a Debian package (.deb file),
-which one can use to install Netpbm on a Debian system (or a system running
-a derivative of Debian, such as Ubuntu or Mint).
-
-You can of course install on one of these systems by running 'installnetpbm',
-or otherwise inserting all the files in the proper place in your system file
-tree, but having a Debian package allows you to manage those files using
-Debian's normal package management.  The package management system will know
-where the Netpbm files came from, and you can upgrade or remove Netpbm easily.
-The package management system will also be aware of prerequisites of Netpbm
-and ensure that you don't have Debian's own inferior version of Netpbm
-installed (which would cause conflicts).
-
-The package we create is named 'netpbm-sf' (where the "sf" is from
-"SourceForge"), to be distinct from the package named "netpbm" which is part
-of Debian.
-
-To install Netpbm as a Debian package:
-
-  1) Follow the regular instructions to build and package Netpbm
-     (configure, make, make package).
-
-  2) With the root of the built Netpbm build tree as your current
-     directory:
-
-     $ make deb
-
-     (This defaults to getting Netpbm from /tmp/netpbm, which is also where
-     'make package' defaults to putting it).
-
-  3) $ dpkg --install netpbm-sfXXXX.deb
-
-     (netpbm-sfXXXX.deb is the file created by 'makedeb', in the current
-     directory).

-PREREQUSISITES
---------------
-
-The following information was taken from the Wheezy version of Debian, in
-January 2014.
-
-You don't actually need the current version of any of these.  For example,
-while we list package libjpeg8-dev, the package libjpeg62-dev works fine.
-
-
-Building
---------
-
-You need the following Debian packages to build all of Netpbm.
-
-You could omit some of these and, in the Netpbm build configuration dialog,
-indicate you don't have them, and the build will simply omit some parts.
-For example, if you don't install libx11-dev, the Netpbm build process
-will not build the 'pamx' program.
-
-  libjpeg8-dev
-  libpng12-0-dev
-  libsvga1-dev
-  libtiff5-dev
-  libx11-dev
-  libxml2a-dev
-  zlib1g-dev
-
-
-In addition, you need the following build tools:
-
-  make
-  gcc
-  flex
-  perl
-  pkg-config
-
-
-
-Running
--------
-
-The following Debian packages are the known prerequisites for running Netpbm
-(and the package created by 'mkdeb' knows this).
-
-    libc6
-    libjpeg8
-    libpng12-0
-    libsvga1
-    libtiff5
-    libx11-6
-    zlib1g
-    ghostscript
-    perl
-    perl-base
-    bash
-
-Note that many of these are needed only for a few parts of Netpbm, and it will
-be pretty obvious what the problem is when you need the prerequisite package
-and don't have it, so if you don't want to install a prerequisite, it would
-probably be fine to force install Netpbm, ignoring the prerequisites.
-
-
-CONFLICTS WITH DEBIAN'S NETPBM
-------------------------------
-
-Debian has several packages of Netpbm, all based on a slightly modified
-Sourceforge Netpbm 9.25 from 2002 (don't be confused by Debian's numbering
-system, which makes it look like it is Netpbm 10).  If you want to install
-Sourceforge Netpbm on your system, you will want first to remove any of these
-you have installed:
-
-  netpbm
-  netpbm-dev
-  libnetpbm9
-  libnetpbm10
-
-Sourceforge Netpbm should be backward compatible with all of those.  Note that
-'mkdeb' makes only one package.  It contains the programs, the runtime
-libraries, and the development files.
-
-We have not yet worked out what has to be done about the fact that the Debian
-packaging system thinks the Debian Netpbm packages are prerequisites for
-things.  If you install Sourceforge Netpbm via the package created by mkdeb,
-you should tell the Netpbm maintainer whatever you learn about that.
