+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+bzip2: bzip2 (a block-sorting file compressor)
+bzip2:
+bzip2: Bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text
+bzip2: compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
+bzip2: considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-
+bzip2: based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of
+bzip2: statistical compressors.

+bzip2: Julian Seward <jseward@acm.org> is the author of bzip2.
