+2. Subversion repository
+------------------------
+
+You can browse it only at:
+
+http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kde/kde-extras/
+
+To "checkout" the repository use these commands:
+
+ $ svn co svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USERNAME}@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-kde/kde-extras
+
+Authorized SSH keys are controlled at https://alioth.debian.org/account/
+
+The repository layout is:
+
+- packagename/
+    - trunk/
+    - branches/
+    - tags/
+        - 0.7.2-1/
+        - 0.7.2-2/
+        - 0.7.2-2ubuntu1/
+        - 0.7.2-2ubuntu2/
+        - 0.7.2-2ubuntu3/
+        - 0.8.0/
+        ...
+
+If only one version of the package is available at the time, development must
+be made at trunk/ dir, copying the dir to tags/'pkg-version' each time a new
+release is made.
+
+When, at some point, the need to have two different versions at the same time
+arises (for example, if we need a version to be in unstable and a different one
+to be in experimental), experimental development will be made in trunk/ and
+if a new unstable package needs to be cooked, copying
+tag/'latest_version_in_sid' to tag/'latest_version_in_sid'+1 will make the
+trick.
+
+3. Using svn-buildpackage
+--------------------------
+
+Packages with an upstream tarball will require you to set the mergeWithUpstream
+property first (from the package root) so that svn-buildpackage will look for
+the .orig.tar.gz in the ../tarballs directory.
+
+ % svn propset mergeWithUpstream 1 debian
+
+Please note that this only works for packages which have only the debian/
+directory committed. Consequently, you must use CDBS's simple-patchsys.mk or
+dpatch to modify the upstream sources.
+
+After you have finished and committed your Debian patches via
+
+ % svn commit [PACKAGE]
+
+as well as copying the orig.tar.gz to ../tarballs/ if necessary, you may build
+your package with the following commands:
+
+ % svn-buildpackage --svn-ignore-new -rfakeroot
+
+Please, don't commit tarballs/ or build-area/ directories to SVN.
+
+4. Tarballs and Build-area directories
+------------------------------------
+
+During pkg development before uploaded to debian the tarballs can be found at:
+
+ http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-extra/orig.tar.gz/
+
+You need to place those dirs in the parent directory of the one from which you're
+running svn-buildpackage. Usually this means placing tarballs/ and build-area/ dirs
+in 'pkgname'/ dir, at the same level as trunk/
+
+If you want to compile inside one version in tags/ dir, you'll need to place those
+dirs inside that dir. Of course the easiest and cleanest way of doing it is
+by making a symlink of those dirs inside tags/ dir.
+
+5. Using svn-inject
+-------------------
+
+To inject a new package into the Debian KDE Extras svn archive you should use svn-inject(1)
+as follows:
+
+ svn-inject -o <package>.dsc svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USERNAME}@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-kde/kde-extras
+
+Type in your alioth password a few hundred times :-) and your package should be
+uploaded to the archive. Note you will also need to manually copy the
+package.orig.tar.gz to your tarballs directory. The -o option is important as
+this ensures that we 'Only keep modified files under SVN control'
