+INTRODUCTION
+------------
+asmack http://code.google.com/p/asmack/ is a portage of the Smack library for
+the Android platform. The project is mostly maintained by Rene Treffer and you
+can find the binaries at http://code.google.com/p/asmack/ and the sources at
+http://github.com/rtreffer/asmack
+
+The asmack project is based on the development version of the Smack library.
+This version is constantly moving but we want a fixed version for BEEM.
+We patched the asmack build process to use a fixed version of the Smack
+library.
+
+COMPILE
+-------
+
+First check out the last version of asmack
+> git clone git://github.com/rtreffer/asmack.git
+
+Then apply the asmack_beem.patch on the source.
+> cd asmack
+> patch -p1 < asmack_beem.patch
+>
+
+Add the beem flavour to the patch repository
+> cp -R beem_patches patch/beem
+>
+
+The 50-fix_chatmanager.patch is only necessary to fix a little bug in smack. The
+patch has been proposed to the Smack developers. See
+http://www.igniterealtime.org/issues/browse/SMACK-269 for progress.
+
+Edit your local.properties file to contains the path of the android SDK. See
+local.properties.example
+
+Build asmack
+> ./build.batch
+>
