 +===== Requirements =====
 +  * ruby interpreter
 +  * "fat tarball" of desired Xfce version
 +
 +===== InstallI =====
 +This is the core of the installer.
 +<code>
 +svn co http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/installit/branches/installer-single-file installit
 +cd installit
 +./autogen.sh
 +make
 +sudo make install
 +cd ..
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Xfce Config =====
 +<code>
 +svn co http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/xfce-installers/trunk/xfce44 xfce44-installer
 +cd xfce44-installer
 +</code>
 +Update the version number and whatever else you want in xfce44.xml, the configuration file for the installer.
 +
 +===== Xfce Components =====
 +<code>
 +mkdir release
 +cd release
 +</code>
 +Acquire a fat tarball and place it here.
 +<code>
 +tar -xjf xfce-*-src.tar.bz2
 +</code>
 +That'll create a xfce-.../src directory containing a bunch of .tar.bz2's. Extract each of those and move the resulting subdirectory up to the current working directory, truncating the version number from its name.
 +(I have a script to automate this. -ongardie)
 +<code>
 +cd .. #back to xfce44-installer
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Build It =====
 +<code>
 +make
 +./xfce4-*-installer.run --check
 +</code>
