-# FreeBSD Support for Propellor
+Propellor is in the early stages of supporting FreeBSD. It should basically
+work, and there are some modules with FreeBSD-specific properties.
-This branch is to add FreeBSD support to Propellor. The first steps
-will focus around package management with pkg-ng.
-
-# Bootstrapping
-
-The current Bootstrap process is very apt-centric, so current efforts
-are focusing on passing the System information down into Bootstrap.
-
-Affected functions are:
-
-* `installGitCommand`, which has to install pkg itself, then install
- git. The `ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES` environment variable must be set so pkg
- will just do its thing.
-
-* `depsCommand`, which installs as many Haskell dependencies from the
- system package manager. We also install gmake, but I'm not sure
- where this is used yet.
+However, many other properties assume they're being run on a
+Debian Linux system, and need additional porting to support FreeBSD.
