+# 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 ':'.

+xdelta: xdelta (Binary delta generator)
+xdelta:
+xdelta: Xdelta is an application program designed to compute changes between
+xdelta: files. These changes (deltas) are similar to the output of the "diff"
+xdelta: program in that they may be used to store and transmit only the
+xdelta: changes between files. However, unlike diff, the output of Xdelta is
+xdelta: not expressed in a human-readable format.
+xdelta: Xdelta uses a fast, linear algorithm and performs well on both binary
+xdelta: and text files.
