-UM-LDAP 3.3 README file
+OpenLDAP Devel README
+	OpenLDAP -devel is for the development of OpenLDAP.  As such,
+	it changes often.  These changes include changes in functionality
+	and unproven bug fixes.  Many of these changes will cause
+	previous working programs to fail.
 
-    This is the UM-LDAP version 3.3 distribution.  For a description of
-    what this distribution contains, see the ANNOUNCEMENT file in this
-    directory.  For a description of changes from previous releases,
-    see the CHANGES file in this directory.  For a more detailed
-    description of how to make and install the distribution, see the
-    INSTALL file in this directory.  For more information on making and
-    installing slapd, see the "SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide"
-    in the doc/guides/ directory.
+	Additional developer documents are available in doc/devel,
+		todo list
+		guidelines for developers
 
-MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
-
-    You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
-    standard default configuration by typing the following commands
-
-	% make
-	% su
-	# make install
+	Client developers seeking a stable development platform
+	should use an OpenLDAP release.
 
-    in this directory.  This should produce something that basically
-    works.
+	The OpenLDAP Developer's FAQ is available at:
+		http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=4
 
-    You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
-    site, though.  There are two files you might want to edit:
 
-	Make-common		   This file contains definitions for
-				   where things will be installed, where
-				   to find various things, etc.  If you
-				   want to build an ldap server, you'll
-				   definitely need to edit this file
+OpenLDAP Release README
