+A novation launchpad midi driver.
+
+It is not a driver in the common sense, but a user space usb
+application which offers a midi out and in to write and receive
+launchpad midi messages.
+
+During installation this will set the group to plugdev for all
+devices in /dev/bus/usb and mode to 664. In order to run the
+application you need to be in the plugdev group. After installing
+udev needs to be restarted in order to run the programm.

+# 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 ':'.
