-The following instructions have been tested on **Trisquel 11 Aramo**
-and **Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS**.  The system package installation requires
-superuser access but subsequent development and running the
-development server is done as a **non-root** user.  As long as you
-have PHP and MariaDB then savane should work.  If you don't have
-`autoconf/automake/gettext/perl/etc`, you can skip the `bootstrap /
-configure / make` steps -- the main PHP should still work, but many of
-the images and icons will be missing.
+The following instructions have been tested on **Trisquel** releases 8 to 11.
+Dependency installation may require superuser access, but installation,
+development and running Savane is generally done as a **non-root** user;
+the few exceptions are outlined explicitly.  For the list of dependencies,
+check the README file.
 
-As of 2024, Savannah has been tested with **PHP versions 5.4, 5.5,
-5.6, 7.0, 7.2, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3**.  Newer versions have not been tested
-but problem reports on any issues found are appreciated.  If you
-encounter errors, please write to <savannah-hackers-public@gnu.org>
-and tell us about it.
