    One dependency can't be fulfilled directly from etch and is therefor not listed
    there: the Search::Xapian perl module. You can either compile that yourself against

 4) Install apache2 (apache2-mpm-worker) and mod_perl (libapache2-mod-perl2)
 5) Adjust the configuration to your needs. You should at least edit the following

 6) run `./bin/setup-site <topdir> <site>'
    (e.g. `./bin/setup-site /org/packages.debian.org packages.debian.org')
 7) create a cache directory for the compiled templates, it needs to be writable by
    apache (i.e. on default etch by www-data). Default location is
-   <topdir>/cache
+   <topdir>/cache. So

 7) Include ./conf/apache.conf in apache's configuration, e.g. by symlinking it from
    /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and then using a2ensite
 8) Run ./bin/daily
+   (this takes a while, especially the first time, as it downloads a lot of data,
+   [at the time of this writing approx. 900 MB], creates databases, pre-builds heavy
+   pages, etc.)
+9) Set up ./bin/daily to be run regulary. In ./conf/crontab you can find an example crontab
+   to do this. Actually preferable is to trigger the script by archive updates, but you
+   will know best if and how to implement that in your setup.
