+# Hydrilla (Python implementation)
+
+This is the repository of Python incarnation of [Hydrilla](https://hydrillabugs.koszko.org/projects/hydrilla/wiki/Wiki), a repository software to serve [Haketilo](https://hydrillabugs.koszko.org/projects/haketilo/wiki) packages.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+* flask
+* pytest (for running tests)
+
+Additionally, Hydrilla requires Python 3.
+
+## Building
+
+We're supplying debian packaging. To generate the necessary `debian.tar.gz` and `orig.tar.gz` files, run:
+``` shell
+python3 setup.py make_tarballs
+```
+
+This will generate appropriate `debian.tar.gz` and `orig.tar.gz` in the parent of the project directory.
+
+*TODO: describe debian procedure...*
+
+We're using setuptools. This means you can also do something like:
+``` shell
+python3 setup.py install
+```
+
+*TODO: describe setuptools considerations and mention avoiding pip...*
+
+## Running
+Hydrilla can be run from source, without prior installation, provided that its dependencies are present on the system. For this to work, you should first generate GNU Gettext `.mo` files. This is most easily achieved using our custom `setup.py` command:
+``` shell
+python3 setup.py msgfmt
+```
+
+A simple session can then be started with:
+``` shell
+python3 setup.py run
+```
+
+*TODO...*
+

+Hydrilla is entirely available under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 or later. Some files might also give you broader permissions, see comments inside them.
