+What are DocBook documents doing in the Samba Distribution ?
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+We have converted all samba docs to XML/DocBook V4.2
+in order to make them easier to maintain and produce a nicer looking
+product.
+
+This short note (strange isn't it how it always starts out as a short note
+and becomes a long one ?) will explain very briefly how and why we have
+done this.
+
+
+The format
+----------
+
+If you are new to xml, regard an xml file as 'source code'. You don't
+read it directly, but use it to create other formats (like the html
+included in ../htmldocs).
+
+Docbook is a particular XML style, particularly suited to producing
+technical manuals.
+
+For more information on DocBook tags and format, see "DocBook: The
+Definitive Guide" by Walsh and Muellner, (c) O'Reilly Publishing.
+This book covers DocBook V4.2 and is available on-line
+at http://www.docbook.org/
+
+The Output
+----------
+The current Samba Subversion tree contains the XML/DocBook source files.
+
+A regularly generated version can be found at https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/.
+
+The Tools
+---------
+
+To generate the docs, you need to have the following packages installed:
+
+ * GNU Make
+ * GNU autoconf
+ * xsltproc
+
+For generating PDF and PostScript (thru LaTeX):
+ * dblatex (from http://dblatex.sf.net/)
+
+For generating PDF (thru FO):
+ * fop (http://xml.apache.org/fop/)
+
+For generating ASCII:
+ * html2text
+
+For generating texi files:
+ * docbook2x-texi
+ * makeinfo
+
+For validating:
+ * xmllint
+
+This directory now contains a ./configure script and Makefile to
+support the automated building of man pages (including HTML versions), and
+the building of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection and the
+Samba Developers Guide (HTML,TeX,PDF,PS,Text versions).
+
+The configure script detects which of the required utilities are installed
+and builds as much docs as it can using these tools.
+
+Help! Building the docs generates a lot of HTTP traffic...
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+To be able to build the docs without an internet connection (or faster with
+a slow internet connection), you need to set up "catalogs".
+
+For the Pearson DTD, add something like:
+
+ <public publicId="-//Pearson//DTD Books//DE" uri="file:///home/jelmer/Xml_dtd_1.1/pearson.dtd"/>
+
+For the Samba DTD's, add something like:
+ <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD" rewritePrefix="file:///home/jelmer/samba-web/DTD"/>
+
+catalog entries for the other DTD's and XSL scripts should be present on your
+system already.
