+Apache CouchDB is a RESTFul document-oriented database.
+
+Apache CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried
+and indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also
+offers incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection
+and resolution. CouchDB provides a RESTful JSON API.
+
+This requires js (spidermonkey), icu4c, and erlang-otp.
+
+You must have a "couchdb" user and group before running this script;
+something like this should suffice:
+ # groupadd -g 231 couchdb
+ # useradd -u 231 -g couchdb -d /var/lib/couchdb -s /bin/sh couchdb
+
+See README.SLACKWARE for further configuration information.
