+What is kdenonbeta?
+-------------------
+
+This package contains software modules that are considered by their
+authors preceding beta stage, hence "nonbeta" (which means "alpha at
+best"), and are not normally released. The programs and libraries that
+are developed here are sometimes moved to official release packages
+(like kdegraphics) as the program or library matures to a sufficiently
+stable state. Beware that some of the programs are not maintained or
+may be suffering bit rot.
+
+This place is also touted as a place for free collaborative development of
+KDE related software.
+
+
+Package contents
+----------------
+
+Read the INDEX file to find out about the description and status of each
+module.
+
+
+Building kdenonbeta
+-------------------
+
+kdenonbeta is fairly large, at around 170 Mbytes of source code. That
+much code in active development means that it is unlikely all of
+kdenonbeta will compile and work at once. You probably don't want to
+build all of kdenonbeta - pick the bits you are interested in and just
+build that.
+
+There are a number of ways to manage the build process:
+
+1. Only checkout what you need. If you use a sequence like
+ cvs co -l kdenonbeta
+ cd kdenonbeta
+ cvs co admin (or ln -s ../kde-common/admin ./admin)
+ cvs up <subdir>
+you will only get the active directories. This is a good idea in terms
+of build time, and also on load on the CVS servers.
+
+2. Create a file called inst-apps in the toplevel directory to compile
+modules you want. The file should contain each module name on a
+separate line, like:
+ konversation
+ kttsd
+Then do your make -f Makefile.cvs && ./configure etc.
+
+3. Exclude the modules you don't want, by adding them to the
+DO_NOT_COMPILE variable. For example, if you want to exclude
+dcopbindings, then edit dcopbindings/configure.in.in to include the
+line:
+ DO_NOT_COMPILE="$DO_NOT_COMPILE dcopbindings"
+
+
+Using kdenonbeta
+---------------
+
+The package uses the standard autoconf/automake based KDE build system. To
+add a new module to the build, create a subdirectory with your code and then
+say "make -f Makefile.cvs".
+
+Don't forget to add your new subdirectory to the INDEX file.
