+I. OVERVIEW
+-----------
+
+The xauth program is used to edit and display the authorization
+information used in connecting to the X server.
+The underlying "Authorization Protocol for X" is described in the
+README file of the libXau module of X11.
+
+II. BUILDING
+------------
+
+Use "./autogen.sh" to configure the package and "make" to compile it.
+A black box check for the correctness of the package can be initiated
+by "make check" (make sure to install "cmdtest" from
+http://liw.fi/cmdtest/). The installation is done by "make install".
+
+III. COMMUNICATION
+------------------
+
+All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
+Xorg mailing list:

+The master development code repository can be found at:
+
+  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xauth

+
+IV. RELEASING
+-------------
+
+This section describes how to release a new version of xauth to the
+public. A detailed description of this process can be found at
+https://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ReleaseHOWTO with a
+few clarification below.
+
+Remember, that the last commit _must_ include the version string in
+its diff (not the commit message). This is typically done by
+incrementing the version string in configure.ac.
+
+For releasing under Fedora make sure, that
+/usr/share/util-macros/INSTALL exists. If not, then please create that
+file.
+
+To release a new version of xauth, please follow this steps:
+
+ * git clone ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xauth
+ * cd xauth ; ./autogen.sh ; make ; make check
+ * follow ReleaseHowto inside this directory.
+
+Ignore these errors shown during release.sh:
+
+    /bin/sh: ../.changelog.tmp: Permission denied
+    git directory not found: installing possibly empty changelog.
+    
+    cp: cannot create regular file '../.INSTALL.tmp': Permission denied
+    util-macros "pkgdatadir" from xorg-macros.pc not found: installing possibly empty INSTALL.
