+HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high
+availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based
+applications. It is particularly suited for web sites crawling under
+very high loads while needing persistence or Layer7 processing.
+
+Note:
+By default, this SlackBuild supposes that the kernel supports epoll if
+the kernel release is 2.4.x.
+This is a reasonable choice for running HAProxy, isn't it?
+Otherwise, please remember to modify this SlackBuild.

+# 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 ':'.
