From 7599cd1b4016b54bccdd6aaab75dfb1b5867864f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Filion Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2011 21:19:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add some notes on how to install bup on FreeBSD I've given bup a go on FreeBSD 8.1 and everything seemed to be functional. Some package names are not really obvious, and the default 'make' command doesn't like bup's GNU Make-ish Makefile. Add some notes in the README so that people can have some pointers on what to do to get bup fully functional under FreeBSD.
