+## Maintaining the archive ##
+
+To create a new archive including a single monkeysphere package from
+tag `$TAG` on architecture `$ARCH`, do:
+
+       git clone git://git.monkeysphere.info/monkeysphere
+       cd monkeysphere
+       git tag -v $TAG
+       git checkout $TAG
+       debuild -uc -us
+       cd repo
+       reprepro -C monkeysphere include experimental ../$TAG_$ARCH.changes
+
+When you get a package from a separate architecture `$NEWARCH`, do:
+
+       cd repo
+       reprepro -C monkeysphere includedeb experimental ../$TAG_NEWARCH.deb
+
+To publish the archive, make sure you have access to
+`archivemaster@george.riseup.net`, and then do:
+
+       cd repo
+       ./publish
