 # hilde
 
-A server implementation of a Debian repository.
-
-## Development
-
-To develop this project, you'll need a few things:
-
-* Docker (for setting up the database)
-* Cargo & Rust stable (all hail Rocket v0.5)
-* The PostgreSQL dev libraries (to compile Diesel)
-
-That's the ones I can think of right now. If I think of any others, I'll be
-sure to add them to the list.
-
-For ease of development, there's a Makefile wrapper that can do everything you
-need to do to work on Hilde. I recommend reading through it (it's not long),
-but the important ones are `make` & `make run`, which are just Cargo aliases,
-and `make db`, which starts a local PostgreSQL database using Docker.
