# 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 ':'.

bzip2: bzip2 (a block-sorting file compressor)
bzip2:
bzip2: Bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text
bzip2: compression algorithm, and Huffman coding.  Compression is generally
bzip2: considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-
bzip2: based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of
bzip2: statistical compressors.

bzip2: Julian Seward <jseward@acm.org> is the author of bzip2.

Slackware 13.0 Wed Aug 26 10:00:38 CDT 2009 Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable! Thanks to everyone who helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the credits. The ISOs are off to the replicator. This time it will be a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider picking up a copy to help support the project. Once again, thanks to the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing things and offering suggestions during this development cycle. As always, have fun and enjoy! -P. 2009-08-26 17:00:38 +02:00			`# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:`
