+Type './configure --help' for configuration options. The normal settings for a
+GNU package should work. If not, please make a bug report.
+
+ On a common GNU/Linux distribution the following should
+ be sufficient for most users:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+ make
+ make install DESTDIR="somewhere you want the files for now"
+ # Now let the package manager put the files in place...
+
+ Or for an unstaged install:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+ make
+ sudo make install
+
+By default any applicable pre-install, post-install, pre-uninstall, and
+post-install commands is run. This suppress these, run 'make' with 'N=true'
+or 'N=:'. IF you want to know which these commands are, you can use the
+methods specificed in the GNU Coding Standards. Another method is found in
+mk/README. However, for this packages, these will be:
+
+ infodir="usr/local/share/info" ## Assuming default prefix.
+
+ post_install () {
+ install-info -- "${infodir}/sleeping-getty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
+ }
+
+ pre_uninstall () {
+ install-info --delete -- "${infodir}/sleeping-getty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
+ }
