+The Open Lighting Architecture (OLA) provides a plugin framework for
+distributing DMX512 control signals on Mac and Linux. It provides C++
+and Python libraries which abstract away the underlying DMX over IP
+protocol or DMX interface. See http://opendmx.net/index.php/OLA for
+more information.
+
+To disable the python libs
+run the script as follows: WITH_PYTHON=no ./ola.SlackBuild
+
+To disable the builtin http server (requires libmicrohttp)
+run the script as follows: WITH_HTTP=no ./ola.SlackBuild
+
+ola requires protobuf and cppunit.
