+This is Bugs Everywhere (BE), a bugtracker built on distributed revision
control. It works with Arch, Bazaar, Darcs, Git, and Mercurial at the
moment, but is easily extensible. It can also function with no RCS at
all.

bugs can be marked "fixed" in the branches that fix them. So, instead of
numbers, bugs have globally unique ids.
+Getting BE
+==========
+
+BE is available as a bzr repository::
+
+ $ bzr branch http://bzr.bugseverywhere.org/be
+
+See the homepage_ for details. If you do branch the bzr repo, you'll
+need to run::
+
+ $ make
+
+to build some auto-generated files (e.g. ``libbe/_version.py``), and::
+
+ $ make install
+
+to install BE. By default BE will install into your home directory,
+but you can tweak the ``PREFIX`` variable in ``Makefile`` to install
+to another location.

Getting started
===============
+
To get started, you must set the bugtracker root. Typically, you will want to
set the bug root to your project root, so that Bugs Everywhere works in any
part of your project tree.
