+The prboom source package
+=========================
+
+The prboom debian package is maintained in subversion by the Debian Games
+Team. You can obtain the source and build the package using svn-buildpackage:
+
+	a) svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages/trunk/prboom
+	b) mkdir tarballs
+	c) put the relevant orig.tar.gz into the tarballs directory
+	   (it can be found on debian source mirrors, or at
+	   <http://pkg-games.alioth.debian.org/tarballs/>).
+	d) cd prboom
+	e) build using svn-buildpackage (e.g.
+	   svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc)
+
+If you do not want to use svn-buildpackage:
+
+	a) unpack the orig.tar.gz
+	b) chdir into the unpackacked source directory
+	c) svn export --force \
+	   svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages/trunk/prboom .
+	d) build using whatever method you like
+
+
 prboom and svgalib
 ==================
-Using the svgalib driver of SDL is not recommended, as it requires root privileges
-for the binary. If you want to run prboom without X11 use the fbcon driver, which
-has better hardware support and doesn't suffer from security problems.

 If this is not an option for you make sure to
 a) make prboom setuid root by doing
    dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 4755 /usr/games/prboom
