+# 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.

+etckeeper: etckeeper (version control for /etc)
+etckeeper:
+etckeeper: etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git,
+etckeeper: mercurial, darcs, or bzr repository. It tracks file metadata that
+etckeeper: revison control systems do not normally support, but that is
+etckeeper: important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's
+etckeeper: quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if
+etckeeper: you understand the basics of working with revision control.
