[c5c522c]1# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
2# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
3# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
4# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
5# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
6# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

9bzip2: bzip2 (a block-sorting file compressor)
10bzip2:
11bzip2: Bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text
12bzip2: compression algorithm, and Huffman coding.  Compression is generally
13bzip2: considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-
14bzip2: based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of
15bzip2: statistical compressors.
16bzip2:
