-Here is tools to package diaspora as a RPM package.
+## Diaspora RPM tools
 
-Synopsis:
+Creates Fedora 13 RPM packages from diaspora git repository.

+#### Synopsis:
 
-# Create dist/diaspora-bundle-0.0-1010041233_faded4231.tar.gz
-% ./make_dist.sh bundle
+    # Create dist/diaspora-0.0-1010041233_fade4231.tar.gz
+    % ./make_dist.sh source

+    /usr/sbin/diaspora-setup
+    # Fix hostname afterwards by editing pod_url in
+    # /usr/share/diaspora/master/config/app_config.yml
+
+
+    # Start development server:
+    sudo
+    su - diaspora
+    cd master
+    ./script/server
+
+    # Start using apache passenger:
+    # See: http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Using-apache
+    
+#### Notes
 
 Routines uses last available version from master branch at github.
+
+You need to copy all patches and secondary sources in this dir to
+the rpm source directory a. k. a. $(rpm --eval %_sourcedir).
+
+The spec-files in dist/ are patched by ./make_dist.sh source to reference
+correct versions of diaspora and diaspora-bundle. The diaspora-bundle
+is only updated if Gemfile is updated, upgrading diaspora doesn't 
+always require a new diaspora-bundle.
+
+rpmlint shows many errors, most of which related to that the server
+won't start if the .git directories are not included. Needs investigation.
+
+This has been confirmed to start up and provide basic functionality both using 
+the thin webserver and apache passenger.
