+# 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.

+makeself: makeself (Make self-extractable archives on Unix)
+makeself:
+makeself: makeself.sh is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable
+makeself: tgz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell
+makeself: script (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is.
+makeself: The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and
+makeself: an optionalarbitrary command will be executed (for example an
+makeself: installation script).This is pretty similar to archives generated
+makeself: with WinZip Self-Extractor inthe Windows world. Makeself archives
+makeself: also include checksums for integrityself-validation (CRC and/or
+makeself: MD5 checksums).
