+The J-Link software gives you the USB drivers needed for your system, a number
+of utilities as well as a dynamically linkable library used by most of the IDEs
+and debuggers using J-Link. Also included are a number of sample setup scripts
+for devices needing one as well as documentation.
+
+NOTE:
+1. This SlackBuild is not sbopkg compatible because source download requires
+ licence acceptance (the link provided in .info points to download site)
+ and the source tarball name is different from the resulting package name.
+2. This SlackBuild repackages the official J-Link binary package.
+3. The official binary package bundles libedit, which is also available from
+ slackbuilds.org so I decided to go with the one from slackbuilds.org and
+ not with the bundled one. BTW, ldd shows that libedit is not used at all.
+4. The original udev rules change the device permissions to 0666.
+ This SlackBuild modifies the rules, so that the permissions are 0664 and
+ the group is plugdev. Make sure to make yourself a member of this group.
