gfarm for Debian
------------------

Gfarm is a reference implementation of the Grid Datafarm that is
designed for facilitating reliable file sharing and high-performance
distributed and parallel data computing in a Grid across
administrative domains by providing a Grid file system.  A Grid file
system is a virtual file system that federates multiple file systems.
It is possible to share files or data by mounting the virtual file
system. Please see http://gfarm.sourceforge.net/ for details.

Configuratoin
=============
Gfarm packages are built by

  debuild -eGLOBUS_PREFIX=$GLOBUS_LOCATION -eGFARM_CONFIGURE_OPTION=--with-globus-static -eBUILD_BOTH

to link statistically with globus toolkit binaries. If you have globus
tool kit libraries and want to build debian package for yourself, you
can build "debuild".And if you want to build with MPI libraries, please 
add configure option to debian/rules file.

NOTE
====
The pdiff and pcat commands are not included in binary package due to conflict with
a2ps and tct packages, respectively.
