To make an RPM package, you can use "make rpm". For DEB, "make deb".
If compiling directly from the trunk, you need to run `./autogen.sh`
+Usage
+=====
+
+You can set the appearance and preferences, in the panel settings dialog.
+
+Click the icon to launch the Smart install/upgrade GUI, or middle-click
+the icon to check for upgrades. This will check using local cache only.
+
+To update channels from the network, use the menu item or dialog button
+(install the setuid program "smart-update" to avoid sudo and the dialog)
