Getting started
----------------
+===============
- Check out the bup source code using git:
- Install the needed python libraries (including the development
libraries). On Debian or Ubuntu, this is usually:
apt-get install python2.6-dev python-fuse
+ apt-get install python-pyxattr python-pylibacl
Substitute python2.5-dev or python2.4-dev if you have an older system.
Notes on FreeBSD
-================
+----------------
- FreeBSD's default 'make' command doesn't like bup's Makefile. In order to
compile the code, run tests and install bup, you need to install GNU Make
