+# Dragon Research Labs RPKI Toolkit
+
+This is the "rpki.net" toolkit developed and maintained primarily by
+Dragon Research Labs.  It's had several other names over the years
+("DRL RPKI toolkit", "ISC RPKI toolkit", etc), but it's the same
+toolkit under the same BSD-style license, now moved to GitHub.
+
+## Documentation
+
+You can find documentation salvaged from the old wiki in the doc/
+subdirectory: see the README in that directory for details.
+
+## Binary packages
+
+Binary packages for Ubuntu Xenial and Debian Jessie are available from
+https://download.rpki.net/APTng/.
+
+The source packaging scripts for FreeBSD are a bit stale, someday
+we'll fix that.
