 Configure the web front-end
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+The web front-end consists of a single HTML-page with an overview of the
+packager status and links to build logs when available.  There are two
+ways to publish this front-end: as little web-server with a dynamic
+web-page or as a directory with a bunch of files making up a static
+web-site.
+
+Webserver:
+
 The default configuration should be OK in most cases.  If you want you
 can customize it in cherrypy.cfg.  Start the web front-end with
 
   ./starttreepkgweb.py
 
 starttreepkgweb has some options to specify which configuration files to use.
+
+
+Static pages:
+
+The static pages are published using two programs, createstaticweb.py
+and publishstaticweb.py.  createstaticweb.py is run on the system where
+the tree packager runs.  publishstaticweb.py is usually run on another
+system and connects via ssh and rsync to the tree packager host, creates
+the files with createstaticweb.py and copies the files from the tree
+packager host to a third host.
+
+The config file for publishstaticweb.py is demostaticweb.cfg.  Copy this
+file to ststaticweb.cfg and adapt it to your system.  The comments in
+the file describe the options.  Afterwards, run the script with
+
+  ./publishstaticweb.py
