HOW IT WORKS

A re6stnet network consists of at least one server (re6st-registry) and many
nodes (re6stnet). The server is only used to deliver certificates for secure

Scalability

nodes don't need to know the whole graph of the network, re6stnet is

Installation
============
re6stnet is distributed as a Python egg, and is also packaged for DEB & RPM
based distributions:
| Official packaging is implemented at
| https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.package/tree/master/obs/re6st
| and packages are built for many Linux distributions at
| https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:VIFIBnexedi/Re6stnet
See `re6st-registry` to set up a re6st network
and `re6st-conf` to join an existing network.
| re6stnet is also distributed as a Python egg:
| https://pypi.python.org/pypi/re6stnet
On Debian Squeeze, you will have to install `babeld` package from Wheezy.
Usage
=====
In order to build DEB snapshot package whose version is derived from current
Git revision, the `debian/changelog` file must be generated automatically,
that's why you can't use `dpkg-buildpackage` directly: run ``debian/rules``
instead. RPM does not have this limitation: do `rpmbuild -bb re6stnet.spec``
as usual.
See ``re6stnet``\ (8) man page.
