When attempting to install frieght on a fresh 16.04 Ubuntu server, the instructions are not functional.

wget -O - https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/repo-public.gpg|sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://build.openvpn.net/debian/freight_team $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freight.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install freight

yields the following results

...
W: The repository 'http://packages.rcrowley.org xenial Release' does not have a Release file
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
...
Package freight is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or 
is only available from another source

E: Package 'freight' has no installation candidate

Additionally if I checkout the v0.3.5 tag from git and use these instructions:

sudo apt install make
make && sudo make install

yields

make: Nothing to be done for 'all'

and there are no binaries available, bash completion file, etc.

Additionally with the v0.3.5 tag from git and using these instructions:

sudo apt install build-essential
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b

yields

tail: cannot open 'debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: error: tail of debian changelog gave error exit status 1

dpkg-buildpackage works with v0.3.11

Apologies, this is not a problem with the instructions on 'freight-team/freight'. Someone should update the README on 'rcrowley/freight' to point people to the 'freight-team/freight' repos.

@debaillie : we would love to update the README in rcrowley/freight, but we don't have access to it and rcrowley is not responding to our requests.
