+Updates are retrieved with this single command:

+
+Right now the l10n is maintained by manually comparing against each new upstream release, and
+updating both the master mirror and the l10n as needed.
+
+Work is in progress to semi-automate this to still check manually for updates, but maintain the
+l10n as PO files - to allow more translations to more than the few languages I know about myself.
+
+As upstream ikiwiki is now maintained in GIT too, keeping the master mirror in sync with upstream
+could probably be automated even more - but an obstacle seems to be that content is not maintained
+separately but as an integral part of upstream source (GIT seems to not support subscribing to
+only parts of a repository).
+
+For example use, here's how to roll out a clone of the [Redpill support site](http://support.redpill.dk/):
+
+    mkdir -p ~/private_webdata
+    git clone http://source.redpill.dk/support.git ~/private_webdata/support.redpill.dk
+    cd ~/private_webdata/support.redpill.dk
+    make
+    mkdir -p ~/public_websites/support.redpill.dk
+    mkdir -p ~/public_websites/source.redpill.dk/support_content.git/hooks
+    mkdir -p ~/public_cgi/support.redpill.dk
+    make install
+
+(Redpill support is inspired by <http://help.riseup.net> but needs to be reusable for several similarly configured networks)
