-## Building Release Tarballs
-
-In order to build a release tarball you should first check out the Git repository
-in a new directory. If you're using an existing check-out you should make sure
-that there are no local modifications:
-
- $ git status
-
-### Release Checklist
-
-Here's a short check-list for releases:
-
-Update the [.mailmap](.mailmap) and [AUTHORS](AUTHORS) files
-
- $ git log --use-mailmap | grep ^Author: | cut -f2- -d' ' | sort | uniq > AUTHORS
-
-Bump the version in icinga2.spec.
-Update the [ChangeLog](ChangeLog), [doc/1-about.md](doc/1-about.md) and [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)
-files using the changelog.py script.
-Commit these changes to the "master" branch.
-
- $ git commit -v -a -m "Release version <VERSION>"
-
-Create a signed tag (tags/v<VERSION>).
-
-GB:
-
- $ git tag -u EE8E0720 -m "Version <VERSION>" v<VERSION>
-MF:
-
- $ git tag -u D14A1F16 -m "Version <VERSION>" v<VERSION>
-
-Push the tag.
-
- $ git push --tags
-
-Merge the "master" branch into the "support/2.3" branch (using --ff-only).
-
- $ git checkout support/2.3
- $ git merge --ff-only master
- $ git push origin support/2.3
-
-Note: CMake determines the Icinga 2 version number using `git describe` if the
-source directory is contained in a Git repository. Otherwise the version number
-is extracted from the [icinga2.spec](icinga2.spec) file. This behavior can be overridden by
-creating a file called `icinga-version.h.force` in the source directory.
-Alternatively the `-DICINGA2_GIT_VERSION_INFO=OFF` option for CMake can be used to
-disable the usage of `git describe`.
-
-### Build Tarball
-
-Use `git archive` to build the release tarball:
-
- $ VERSION=2.3.2
- $ git archive --format=tar --prefix=icinga2-$VERSION/ tags/v$VERSION | gzip >icinga2-$VERSION.tar.gz
-
-Finally you should verify that the tarball only contains the files it should contain:
-
- $ VERSION=2.3.2
- $ tar ztf icinga2-$VERSION.tar.gz | less
-
-
## Building Icinga 2
Once you have installed all the necessary build requirements you can build
- `ICINGA2_WITH_NOTIFICATION`: Determines whether the notification module is built; defaults to `ON`
- `ICINGA2_WITH_PERFDATA`: Determines whether the perfdata module is built; defaults to `ON`
+CMake determines the Icinga 2 version number using `git describe` if the
+source directory is contained in a Git repository. Otherwise the version number
+is extracted from the [icinga2.spec](icinga2.spec) file. This behavior can be
+overridden by creating a file called `icinga-version.h.force` in the source
+directory. Alternatively the `-DICINGA2_GIT_VERSION_INFO=OFF` option for CMake
+can be used to disable the usage of `git describe`.

### Building Icinga 2 RPMs
Setup your build environment on RHEL/SUSE and copy the generated tarball from your git
repository to `rpmbuild/SOURCES`.

### Building Icinga 2 Debs
-Setup your build environment on Debian/Ubuntu and run the following command straight from
-the git repository checkout:
+Setup your build environment on Debian/Ubuntu, copy the 'debian' directory from
