SVN commit 2613 by sho:

  * debian/patches/203_hostname.diff: new patch. Allow buy and sell orders to
  carry additional information about the server, so that third-party servers
  may be used (note that no such servers exist as of now, see README.Debian
  for more information).

 README.Debian for CPUShare
 ==========================
 
-Before running CPUShare, be sure to read and understand the CPUShare user
+As of now, the CPUShare software can only connect to a service hosted at
+<http://www.cpushare.com/>. However the author has expressed interest in
+opensourcing the server code, allowing for third-party servers. Before using
+the CPUShare service, be sure to read and understand the CPUShare user
 agreement on <http://www.cpushare.com/user_agreement>.
 
+This package has been slightly modified so that it can easily use a third-
+party server, should one become available in the future. See the end of this
+document for more information.

+Using alternate servers
+-----------------------
 
+A typical .cpu file, as created by the cpushare.com service, is made of
+two lines:
+
+    magic: cpushare.com CPU order
+    sell_1234_KWyCoLzaCgJvYOJALJMgBGGKWx43hx84
+
+The Debian cpushare package understands three additional fields in this
+file, which MUST be placed after the "magic" line and before the "sell"
+or "buy" line:
+
+    magic: cpushare.com CPU order
+    hostname: cpushare.cpushare.com
+    port: 4782
+    cert: /etc/cpushare/keys/cpushare_cert.pem
+    sell_1234_KWyCoLzaCgJvYOJALJMgBGGKWx43hx84
+
+Simply modify the "hostname", "port" and/or "cert" fields in order to
+create an order that uses an alternate server.
