+grip2 (graphical CD player and ripper)
+
+Grip is a gtk-based cd-player and cd-ripper. It has the ripping
+capabilities of cdparanoia builtin, but can also use external rippers
+(such as cdda2wav).
+
+Optional runtime dependency: yelp. If this is installed, grip's Help
+will be displayed with it. Otherwise, the Help will be displayed in
+your default web browser.

+# 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.
