# 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 ':'.

gcc-gfortran: gcc-gfortran (Fortran support for GCC)
gcc-gfortran:
gcc-gfortran: This package contains those parts of the compiler collection
gcc-gfortran: needed to compile Fortran code.  The base gcc package is also
gcc-gfortran: required.  The GNU Fortran compiler is able to compile nearly all
gcc-gfortran: standard-compliant Fortran 95, Fortran 90, and Fortran 77 programs,
gcc-gfortran: including a number of standard and non-standard extensions, and can
gcc-gfortran: be used on real-world programs.  In particular, the supported
gcc-gfortran: extensions include OpenMP, Cray-style pointers, and several Fortran
gcc-gfortran: 2003 features such as enumeration, stream I/O, and some of the
gcc-gfortran: enhancements to allocatable array support from TR 15581.
