+======  Access  ======
+First of all, you need access to the Packman Subversion repository.
+Send an email to the Packman mailing-list (packman*a*t*links2linux*d*o*t*org) to do so.
+======  Installing the tools  ======
+Check out the pm-upload-job directory somewhere in your HOME, e.g.:
+<code>
+  mkdir -p ~/src/projects/packman
+  cd ~/src/projects/packman
+  svn co svn+ssh://USERNAME@packman.links2linux.de/packman/trunk/tools/pm-upload-job</code>
+Create symbolic links to <tt>pm-upload-job</tt>, <tt>pm-queue</tt> and <tt>pm-log</tt> in your <tt>$HOME/bin</tt>>
+<code>
+  cd ~/src/projects/packman/pm-upload_job
+  for x in pm-upload-job pm-queue pm-log; do ln -s $PWD/$x ~/bin/; done</code>
+======  Configuration  ======
+Create a configuration file <tt>~/.pmbsrc</tt> and add the following content:
+<code>
+  [[packager]]
+  name = Firstname Lastname
+  email = firstname@links2linux.de
+  [[notification]]
+  email = yes</code>
+The Packman tools you've just checked out all use the host name "pmbs" for SSH operations.
+Hence, add it as an alias in your SSH configuration:
+<code>
+  mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/.ssh
+  cat<<EOF >> ~/.ssh/config
+  Host pmbs
+    User=USERNAME
+    HostName packman-bs.links2linux.de
+  EOF</code>
+Furthermore, you **must** use pubkey authentication when SSH'ing to packman-bs.links2linux.de or packman.links2linux.de
+If you don't have an SSH public/private key pair already (or if you want to use another one):
+<code>
+  ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024</code>
+You may use a passphrase (which is a lot more secure) but all Packman tools require batched operation, which means you'll have to use <tt>ssh-agent</tt> to only enter your passphrase once.
+To copy your public SSH key to both servers, proceed as follows:
+<code>
+  ssh-copy-id pmbs
+  ssh-copy-id USERNAME@packman.links2linux.de</code>
