+YOURI project
+-------------
+
+YOURI stands for "Youri Offers an Upload & Repository Infrastucture". It aims
+to build tools making management of a coherent set of packages easier.
+
+Description
+-----------
+Managing a package repository involves many tasks, such as keeping packages
+tree tidy, generating packages indexes, synchronising bug report system,
+running coherency checks, checking for available updates, etc...
+
+Instead of a gazillion project-specific scripts, we aim to provide a generic package-format independant framework, so as to build coherent and robust tools.
+
+Components
+----------
+Available software in this release
+- youri-check allows to check packages
+- youri-upload allows to upload packages
+
+Installation
+------------
+To install, just use:
+perl Makefile.PL
+make
+make test
+
+All standard MakeMaker variables are usable, with the addition of SYSCONFDIR to
+specify configuration files destination.
