+# 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 ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+libaec: libaec (Adaptive Entropy Coding library)
+libaec:
+libaec: Libaec provides fast lossless compression of 1 up to 32 bit wide
+libaec: signed or unsigned integers (samples). The library achieves best
+libaec: results for low entropy data as often encountered in space imaging
+libaec: instrument data or numerical model output from weather or climate
+libaec: simulations. While floating point representations are not directly
+libaec: supported, they can also be efficiently coded by grouping exponents
+libaec: and mantissa.
+libaec:
+libaec: Libaec can replace SZIP.
