+# 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 ':'.

+oprofile:
+oprofile: OProfile is a profiling system for Linux. Profiling runs
+oprofile: transparently in the background and profile data can be collected
+oprofile: at any time. OProfile makes use of the hardware performance
+oprofile: counters provided on Intel, AMD, and other processors, and uses a
+oprofile: timer-interrupt based mechanism on CPUs without counters.
+oprofile: OProfile can profile the whole system in high detail.
