+# 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 ':'.

+icecream: icecream (network-distributed compilation)
+icecream:
+icecream: Icecream is a distributed compile system. It allows parallel
+icecream: compiling by distributing the compile jobs to several nodes of a
+icecream: compile network running the statistics information to the icecc
+icecream: monitor. Each compile node can accept one or more compile jobs
+icecream: depending on the number of processors and the settings of icecc
+icecream: daemon. The icecc scheduler routes the jobs and provides status
+icecream: and the daemon. Link jobs and other jobs which cannot be
+icecream: distributed are executed locally on the node where the compilation
+icecream: is started.
