# 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.

libosmium: OGR, GEOS and GeoJSON geometries for easy conversion into many GIS fo-
libosmium: rmats and it can assemble multipolygons from ways and relations.
