+# amd2netbsd:  convert an amd source tree into a
+# netbsd amd source tree, under basesrc/dist,
+# based on bind2netbsd by Bernd Ernesti and changes by Simon Burge
+#
+# Rough instructions for importing new amd release:
+#
+#	$ cd /some/where/temporary
+#	$ tar xpfz /new/amd/release/tar/file
+#	$ sh /usr/src/dist/am-utils/amd2netbsd am-utils-6.x.y `pwd`
+#	$ cd basesrc/dist/am-utils
+#	$ cvs import -m "Import am-utils 6.x.y" basesrc/dist/am-utils ezk am-utils-6-x-y
+#	$ cd ../../../am-utils-6.x.y
+#	$ run ./configure
+# merge newly generated config.h with /usr/src/usr.sbin/amd/include/config.h
+# very carefully, since autoconfig seems to be broken (at least in 6.0.4)
+#	$ cd ..
+#	$ rm -r basesrc am-utils-6.x.y
+#	$ cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/amd
+#	$ cvs commit -m "Updated autoconf generated files for am-utils 6.x.y."
+#
+#	- check makefiles to see if any extra sources have been added.
+#	- update distrib/sets if necessary.
