@Note that the cvs server is now on scrub.osd.bsdi.com.  Thanks to Bill
for purchasing and setting up the machine for this.  I think I moved
over all of the CVS stuff but if anything is broken, email me.

@FreeBSD Binary Updates Project
------------------------------

CVS Instructions
----------------

  The cvs repository is now on scrub.osd.bsdi.com.

Build Instructions
------------------

  To build both the client and the server, simply type 'make' from the
top level of the source tree.  If you would like to build only the
server or only the client then you should type 'make -DNO_CLIENT' or
'make -DNO_SERVER' respectively.

Client Build Options
--------------------

  Eric will write this soon.

Server Build Options
--------------------

  There are a number of software dependencies that must be satisfied
before the server application can be built.  The biggest dependency is
on a database package.  At this early stage in development a RDBMS is
being used to store the profile and software component data on the
server.  Once this application has matured we will go back and revisit
the method in which the profiles are actually stored on disk.  MySQL
and PostgresSQL are the only supported databases currently but adding
support for additional database softwares is trivial. 
  The second most annoying dependency is on GNU Readline.  This
library is used to get the initial server configuration from the user
if a .updatedrc file is not present.  This dependency is really lame
and will be the first to go.

@Note that the CVS server has moved to scrub.  Thanks to Bill for
purchasing and setting up the machine.  I think I've moved over all
the CVS stuff correctly but if anything is broken let me know.
