+# 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 ':'.

+hal: hal (The HAL Hardware Abstraction Layer)
+hal:
+hal: HAL is a piece of software that provides a view of the various
+hal: hardware attached to a system. HAL keeps detailed metadata for each
+hal: piece of hardware and provides hooks so that system and desktop
+hal: software can react to changes in the hardware configuration (such as
+hal: the insertion of a DVD, or a USB flash memory stick). Users in the
+hal: "plugdev" or "cdrom" group will be able to use such devices on the
+hal: desktop without the need to mount/umount them manually.
