+CVS README - Notes for people checking out of CVS
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Getting rdiff-backup to run:
+----------------------------
+
+If you want to run a version of rdiff-backup checked out of CVS into
+your $RDB_ROOT directory, change to $RDB_ROOT/rdiff_backup and run the
+./compilec.py file.  With any luck, _librsync.so and C.so libraries
+will appear in that directory.  Then run rdiff-backup, making sure
+that all the files are in your PYTHONPATH:
+
+PYTHONPATH=$RDB_ROOT $RDB_ROOT/rdiff-backup
+
+
+Running the unit tests:
+-----------------------
+
+If you want to try some of tests, you first have to untar the
+testfiles.tar.gz as root (the tarball contains device files, files
+with various uid/gid, etc):
+
+cd testing; tar -xvzf testfiles.tar.gz
+
+Then run the various *test.py files, for instance:
+
+cd testing; python lazytest.py
