-gc: Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector
+# 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 ':'.

+gc: gc (Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector)
 gc: 
-gc: The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a 
-gc: garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows you to 
-gc: allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly 
-gc: deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically 
-gc: recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise 
-gc: accessed.
