+A reimplementation of Dan Bernstein's daemontools under the GNU GPL,
+sharing no code with the original implementation.
+
+It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0, envdir,
+envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc, svok, svscan,
+svstat and recordio.  It also includes dumblog (a simple multilog
+replacement), mkservice (a script for automatically creating service
+directories), anonidentd (an anonimising identd implementation) and
+ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting filter along the lines of recordio). All
+the tools include usage messages; for instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a
+brief rundown of the options.
+
+Please note that this package is *not* a drop-in replacement for
+daemontools; the internal state files in service directories are
+different, and the error messages (and a few of the options) aren't
+quite the same. It's also still somewhat experimental, so I'd recommend
+sticking with daemontools on production systems until there's a stable
+release of freedt.
