+Percona Toolkit is a collection of advanced command-line tools used by Percona
+support staff to perform a variety of MySQL and system tasks that are too
+difficult or complex to perform manually, including:
+
+- Verify master and replica data consistency
+- Efficiently archive rows
+- Find duplicate indexes
+- Summarize MySQL servers
+- Analyze queries from logs and tcpdump
+- Collect vital system information when problems occur
+
+Percona Toolkit is derived from Maatkit and Aspersa, two of the best-known
+utility toolkits for MySQL server administration.
+
+This requires perl-TermReadKey.
