From: J. Bruce Fields Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 17:38:47 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Update README X-Git-Tag: nfs-utils-1-0-11~19 X-Git-Url: https://git.decadent.org.uk/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9bc6a6ed9b95b0e884920e66d0c969cc552c7311;p=nfs-utils.git Update README The README has bit-rotted: redhat and debian packaging scripts are no longer included, util-linux mount is (in theory) no longer required, and instructions on building from latest git would be useful.
