dak is the collection of programs used to maintain the Debian
project's archives. It's not yet in a state where it can be easily
used by others; if you want something to maintain a small archive and
apt-ftparchive (from the apt-utils package) is insufficient, I strongly
recommend you investigate mini-dinstall, debarchiver or similar.
However, if you insist on trying to try using dak, please read the
documentation in 'doc/README.first'.

There are some manual pages and READMEs in the doc sub-directory. The
TODO file is an incomplete list of things needing to be done.

There's a mailing list for discussion, development of and help with
dak. See:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-dak/

for archives and details on how to subscribe.

dak is developed and used on Linux but will probably work under any
UNIX since it's almost entirely python and shell scripts.
