+## Packaging
+This directory contains any supporting files to grant usage of apprise in various distributions.
+
+### RPM Based Packages
+* [EPEL](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) based distributions are only supported if they are of v7 or higher. This includes:
+   * Red Hat 7.x (or higher)
+   * CentOS 7.x (or higher)
+   * Scientific OS 7.x (or higher)
+   * Oracle Linux 7.x (or higher)
+
+Provided you are connected to the [EPEL repositories](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL), the following will just work for you:
+```bash
+# python2-apprise: contains all you need to develop with apprise
+# apprise: provides the 'apprise' administrative tool
+yum install python2-apprise apprise
+```
+
+**Fedora** packaging is available right out of the box; the following will get you going on any distribution (v29 or higher):
+```bash
+# python3-apprise: contains all you need to develop with apprise
+# apprise: provides the 'apprise' administrative tool
+dnf install python3-apprise apprise
+```
+
+Let me know if you'd like to help me host on more platforms or can offer to do it yourself!
+
+## Man Pages Information
+The man page were generated using [Ronn](http://github.com/rtomayko/ronn/tree/0.7.3).
+ - Content is directly written to entries in the **man/\*.md** files _following the
+   [the format structure available on the Ronn site](https://github.com/rtomayko/ronn/blob/master/man/ronn.1.ronn)_.
+ - Then the following is executed `ronn --roff man/apprise.md` to produce the man/apprise.1 which is used by distributions.

+apprise(1) -- Push Notifications that work with just about every platform!
+==========================================================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`apprise` [<options>...] <service-url>...<br>
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+**Apprise** allows you to send a notification to _almost all_ of the most
+popular notification services available to us today such as: Discord,
+Telegram, Pushbullet, Slack, Twitter, etc.
+
+  * One notification library to rule them all.
+  * A common and intuitive notification syntax.
+  * Supports the handling of images (to the notification services that will
+    accept them).
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+The Apprise options are as follows:
+
+  * `-b`, `--body=`<TEXT>:
+    Specify the message body. If no body is specified then content is read from
+    <stdin>.
+
+  * `-t`, `--title=`<TEXT>:
+    Specify the message title. This field is complete optional.
+
+  * `-c`, `--config=`<CONFIG-URL>:
+    Specify one or more configuration locations.
+
+  * `-n`, `--notification-type=`<TYPE>:
+    Specify the message type (default=info). Possible values are "info",
+    "success", "failure", and "warning".
+
+  * `-T`, `--theme=`THEME:
+    Specify the default theme.
+
+  * `-g`, `--tag=`TAG:
+    Specify one or more tags to filter which services to notify. Use multiple
+    **--tag** (**-g**) entries to `OR` the tags together and comma separated
+    to `AND` them. If no tags are specified then all services are notified.
+
+  * `-v`, `--verbose`:
+    The more of these you specify, the more verbose the output is.
+
+  * `-V`, `--version`:
+    Display the apprise version and exit.
+
+  * `--help`:
+    Show this message and exit.
+
+## SERVICE URLS
+
+There are to many service URL and combinations to list here. It's best to
+visit the [Apprise GitHub page][serviceurls] and see what's available.
+
+[serviceurls]: https://github.com/caronc/apprise
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+Send a notification to as many servers as you want to specify as you can
+easily chain them together:
+
+    $ apprise -t 'my title' -b 'my notification body' \
+       'mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com' \
+       'pbul://o.gn5kj6nfhv736I7jC3cj3QLRiyhgl98b'
+
+If you don't specify a **--body** (**-b**) then stdin is used allowing you to
+use the tool as part of your every day administration:
+
+    $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | apprise -t 'cpu info' \
+        'mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com'
+
+Load in a configuration file which identifies all of your notification service
+URLs and notify them all:
+
+    $ apprise -t 'my title' -b 'my notification body' \
+       --config=~/apprise.yml
+
+Load in a configuration file from a remote server that identifies all of your
+notification service URLs and only notify the ones tagged as _devops_.
+
+    $ apprise -t 'my title' -b 'my notification body' \
+       --config=https://localhost/my/apprise/config \
+       -t devops
+
+## BUGS
+
+**Apprise** is written in Python with 100% test coverage; but it still makes
+it far from perfect since the notification services it talks to change
+all the time. If you find any bugs, please make them known at:
+<https://github.com/caronc/apprise/issues>
