+NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to
+efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary
+records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional
+arrays. NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features
+introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability to
+create arrays of arbitrary type which also makes NumPy suitable for
+interfacing with general-purpose data-base applications.
+
+There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform, basic
+linear algebra and random number generation.
+
+If you need to build numpy for debugging, set DEBUG=y. If software
+depending on numpy is having problems with the new relaxed strides
+checking, set NPY_RSC=0.
+
+It is highly recommended to install optimized BLAS and LAPACK libs
+before installing numpy. You may choose between ATLAS+LAPACK and
+OpenBLAS.
+
+IMPORTANT: This version, 1.8.2, is the latest to include the oldnumeric
+ and numarray compatibility modules. Starting with version
+ 1.9.0 these modules got removed by the numpy developers.
+ THUS: This SlackBuild conflicts with the numpy SlackBuild
+ which installs versions >= 1.9.0!
