[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 ':'. | |

12 | bzip2: compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally | |
13 | bzip2: considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78- | |
14 | bzip2: based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of | |
