 To use this branch:
 
-   chekcout the last version of openpgp SDK:
-      # svn co svn://openpgp.nominet.org.uk/openpgpsdk/tags/openpgpsdk-0.9 openpgpsdk
-      # cd openpgpsdk
-      # ./configure --without-idea
-      # make
+	- get source code for libssh-0.5.2, unzip it, and create build directory (if needed) 
 
-   For the moment, the compilation is not workign on ubuntu 
+		# wget http://www.libssh.org/files/0.5/libssh-0.5.2.tar.gz
+		# tar zxvf libssh-0.5.2.tar.gz
+		# cd libssh-0.5.2
+		# mkdir build
+		# cd build
+		# cmake -DWITH_STATIC_LIB=ON ..
+		# make
+		# cd ../..
+	
+	- build the google proto files
 
-Work to do
-==========
-Put a 'x' when done. 1,2,3 means started/ongoing/almost finished.
+		# cd rsctrl/src
+		# make
 
-Compilation
-  00   [1] make sure the library compiles on linux
-  01   [ ] make sure the library compiles on windows
+		Don't bother about python related errors.
 
-Project
-  02   [1] determine what's missing in OpenPGP-SDK
-  03   [3] make a separate layer in RS to handle PGP. AuthPGP is too close to libretroshare.
-  04   [1] write the new AuthGPG class
-  05   [ ] consider removing thread behaviour of AuthGPG
-  06   [ ] remove callback system and services from AuthGPG, since it's not useful anymore
-  07   [ ] make all RS use GPGIdType isntead of std::string.
+	- go to retroshare-nogui, and compile it
 
-Notes
-=====
-   Questions to answer:
-     - do we rely on updates from openPGP-sdk ? Probably not. This code seems frozen.
-     - do we need an abstract layer for PGP handling in RS ?
-     - what new functionalities do we need in RS ?
-          * pgp keyring sharing/import/export
-          * identity import/export
+		# cd ../../retroshare-nogui
+		# qmake
+		# make
 
-   Code struture
-     - replace current AuthGPG (virtual class) by a class named GPGHandler,
-        that is responsible for signing, checking signatures, encrypting etc.
-     - add a specific 8-bytes type for GPG Ids. Could be a uint64_t, or a
-        uchar[8]
+	- to use the SSH RS server:
+		
+		# ssh-keygen -t rsa -f rs_ssh_host_rsa_key			# this makes a RSA
+		# ./retroshare-nogui -G										# generates a login+passwd hash for the RSA key used.
+		# ./retroshare-nogui -S 7022 -U[SSLid] -P [Passwd hash]
 
+	- to connect from a remote place to the server by SSH:
+
+		# ssh -T -p 7022 [user]@[host]
+
+		and use the command line interface to control your RS instance.
