+Tox is a free (as in liberty and price) peer to peer, distributed, multimedia
+messenger. Tox can provide a superior instant messaging experience than current
+market offerings by using existing technologies such as dispersed networking
+and strong cryptography. Files can be shared as fast as you and your partner's
+Internet connection allows, audio calls are instantaneous, and there are no
+arbitrary limits to how many people you can have in a group conversation.
+
+Additional libconfig dependency is needed for tox-bootstrapd daemon, together with:
+
+ DAEMON=yes ./toxcore.SlackBuild
+
+NOTE: At the time of writing, upstream is getting prepared to migrate everything
+to the new Tox API. In the meantime, and until everything is in place for this
+change, we are going to use a specific git revision to communicate successfully
+with older clients.
