In-repo packaging
-----------------
Packaging scripts for RPM and DEB are included, but these are to make end-user
custom packaging easier -- distributions tend to maintain their own packaging
scripts separately. If you run into issues with packaging, start with opening
a bug on your distro's bug reporting system.

Some people do use these scripts, so we want to keep them around. Fixes for
any breakage you encounter are welcome.

"fb" -- "free branch"
---------------------

targetcli-fb is a fork of the "targetcli" code written by RisingTide Systems.
The "-fb" differentiates between the original and this version.
Please ensure to use either all "fb" versions of the targetcli components --
targetcli, rtslib, and configshell, or stick with all non-fb versions, since
they are no longer strictly compatible.
