-### Steps
+### Compiling
 
 * Create a build folder
 ```
-[smolbote repo]$ mkdir build
+[smolbote repo]$ mkdir ../build
 ```
 
 * Run qbs
 ```
-[smolbote repo]$ qbs build --build-directory build profile:qt5 release
+[smolbote repo]$ qbs build -d ../build profile:qt5 release
 ```
-Shortened:
-```
-[smolbote repo]$ qbs build -d build profile:qt5 release
-```
-This installs the files to build/release/install-root.
+This installs the files to ../build/release/install-root.
 
-* Test run using the specified Qt profile (optional)
+* Test run (optional)
 ```
-[smolbote repo]$ qbs run --build-directory build --file src/smolbote.qbs --products poi profile:qt5 release
+[smolbote repo]$ qbs run -d ../build -p poi profile:qt5 release
 ```
-Shortened:
+
+### Installing
+* With qbs
 ```
-[smolbote repo]$ qbs run -d build -f src/smolbote.qbs -p poi profile:qt5 release
+[smolbote repo]$ sudo qbs install -d build --no-build --install-root /usr/local --settings-dir /home/usr/.config/QtProject/qbs/1.7.1 profile:qt5 release"
 ```
 
 ### Notes
 * Windows: MSVC compiler is required because of QtWebEngine dependency
 * Windows: Passing the -v or -h parameters creates a dialog box instead of 
 writing the output to stdout.  This is Qt behaviour.
+* Windows: Use windeployqt.exe to collect the libraries
+```
+QT_DIR\QT_VER\msvc2015_64\windeployqt.exe build-PROFILE\release\qtbrowser.exe
+```
 * grsecurity: You may need to exception qbs.
 
 ## Packaging
 
 ### Tarball
 
-Creating a tarball:
+* Creating a tarball:
 ```
-tar -I "lzip -9" -cf build.tar.lz release-folder/*
+tar -I"lzip -9" -cf smolbote-$(git describe --tags).tar.lz --directory=../build/release/install-root . --owner=user:1000 --group=users:1000
 ```
 
-Signing a tarball:
+* Signing a tarball:
 ```
-gpg -u $FINGERPRINT -b $FILENAME
+gpg -u $email -b --armor $tarball
 ```
 -u, --local-user name
 > Use name as the user ID to sign. This option is silently ignored for the list 
 commands, so that it can be used in an options file.
-
 -b, --detach-sign
 > Make a detached signature.
+--armor
+> Create a human-readable signature
 
-Creating checksum:
+* Verify signature:
 ```
-sha512sum --binary build.tar.lz > checksum.sha512
+gpg --verify $signature $tarball
 ```
 
-Verifying checksum:
+* Creating checksum:
 ```
-sha512sum --check checksum.sha512
+sha512sum --binary $tarball* > $tarball.sha512
 ```
 
-### Windows
-Collect the required libraries using
-
+* Verifying checksum:
 ```
-QT_DIR\QT_VER\msvc2015_64\windeployqt.exe build-PROFILE\release\qtbrowser.exe
+sha512sum --check $tarball.sha512
 ```
