+The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload
+it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment
+is written in Java and based on Processing and other open-source software.
+This software can be used with any Arduino board.
+
+NOTE: This script no longer uses binary packages from the upstream, and
+it's a complete rewrite from scratch. Currently, the upstream compiles on a
+system which uses libraries not found in stock Slackware packages, namely
+libtinfo from ncurses. This change affects both compile taking longer and
+a free space requirement now being close to 1GB.
