-# HOW TO USE
-# * Check out the icvpn svn tree to the place where $SVN_DIR points to.
-#   You can do this by running:
-#   mkdir -p /mnt/data
-#   svn co https://kdserv.dyndns.org/svn/christof-icvpn icvpn
-#   Use "freifunk" as username as well as password.
-# * create a /etc/gentinc.cfg file with the following content (remove 
-#   the # signs in the beginning of each line containing a variable) 
-#   and adapt the paths to your system:
-#	# ====== START OF gentinc.cfg ======
-#	# this points to the directory where you checked out the svn tree.
-# 	SVN_DIR="/mnt/data/icvpn"
-# 	TMP="/tmp"
-# 	TINC_DIR="/etc/tinc/icvpn"
-# 	TINC_INIT="/etc/init.d/tinc"
-# 	SVN="/usr/bin/svn"
-# 	LOCKDIR="/var/run/gentinccfg"
-#	SVN_USERNAME=freifunk
-#	SVN_PASSWORD=freifunk
-#	# ====== END OF gentinc.cfg =========
-# * make /etc/gentinc.cfg world readable
-# * run the script from cron on a daily basis
