+ README for shipper
+
+shipper automates the tedious process of shipping a software release to
+several standard places, including ibiblio, the Red Hat submission directory,
+and your own hosted website. It also knows how to post a release announcement
+to freshmeat.net via freshmeat-submit. Two auxiliary tools, buildrpms and
+rpm2lsm, build RPMs and generate LSM files from them respectively.
