+# cgit for Debian
+
+## Prebuilt packages
+
+Prebuilt packages are available from <http://debian.keshi.org/cgit/>.
+No support is provided for these packages.  Use them at your own risk.  
+
+apt-line for sid:
+
+    deb http://debian.keshi.org/cgit/sid ./
+
+apt-line for wheezy:
+
+    deb http://debian.keshi.org/cgit/wheezy ./
+
+Import the archive key before apt-get:
+
+    curl http://debian.keshi.org/archive.key | apt-key add -
+    apt-get update
+    apt-get install cgit
+
+## Building packages
+
+How to build a binary package using [git-buildpackage](http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.html):
+
+    git clone http://git.keshi.org/debian/cgit
+    cd cgit
+    git remote add upstream git://git.zx2c4.com/cgit
+    git remote update
+    git submodule init
+    git submodule update
+    git-buildpackage
+
+The upstream archive (`cgit-x.xx.orig.tar.xz`) will be exported from
+the repository using a tag like `v0.10` as well as submoduled `/git`.
