+We do not use use the provided read-mail to process spools and we don't
+use lists.def. We bypass that part of mharc and call web-archive
+instead.
 
+This repo is based on mharc 0.7.3 release. The .dist files are all the
+upstream except changing path names of standard utilities to match the
+distro, and missing cgi-bin/template/NMZ*dist. I dunno what those are
+about. TODO: figure out namazu integration.
+
+
+The .dist files should never be changed except when upgrading to new
+upstream version (and there does exist a non-release snapshot we should
+upgrade to).
+
+Any file with a correspond .in version should never be manually edited,
+instead generated from the .in file by running make configure. Note,
+make configure must be run from /home/mharc (checkout into that
+directory on your local system).
+
+The lists.fsf branch should be rebased to any changes from master, like this:
+
+git checkout lists.fsf
+git rebase master
+# if there are merge conflicts, manually merge any .in files, then
+make configure
+git add .
+git rebase --continue
+git push -f
+
+Then on lists.fsf.org:
+
+su mharc
+cd
+git fetch
+git reset --hard origin/lists.fsf
