Revision 9bb57c0b119ee75c9e49842a686c0ca07970e37c authored by Colin Percival on 25 January 2010, 23:48:47 UTC, committed by Colin Percival on 25 January 2010, 23:48:47 UTC
to HEAD in r185029; but this is an "inspired by" commit rather than a
literal merge, since this region of code in HEAD has other non-MFCable
changes.

The namei lookups this unbreaks are required for ZFS extended attributes;
prior to this commit, an attempt to look up (list, read, write, delete)
extended attributes would be handled as an attempt to look up a file in
the current directory if an extended attribute directory existed ("at vp"
was mishandled as "right here").

CVSup was originally written in Modula-3 by
	John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com>.

Csup is a rewrite of CVSup in C.  It has been mostly written by
	Maxime Henrion <mux@FreeBSD.org>.

A few contributors have helped him in his task and they are listed here in
alphabetical order :

	Olivier Houchard <cognet@FreeBSD.org>
	Ulf Lilleengen <lulf@kerneled.org>
	Christoph Mathys <cmathys@bluewin.ch>	(Google SoC Project)
	Etienne Vidal <etienne.vidal@gmail.com>


Building & Installing
---------------------

Csup should build and run fine under any *BSD OS (that includes FreeBSD,
NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD), as well as Linux and Darwin.  If you
have a problem building from source, drop me a mail!

There is one Makefile specifically tailored for *BSD systems named
Makefile and another one that is gmake-specific for Darwin and Linux
users named GNUmakefile.  You don't really need to worry about that
since whatever your "make" command is, it should pick up the correct
Makefile.

As usual, to build the source code, just run "make".  Once this is done,
just run "make install" to install the binary and manual page.

Be warned however that if the packaging system of your OS knows about
csup, it is certainly better to install it from there rather than by
hand, so that it can then be properly deinstalled.
