+# 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 ':'.

+postgis:
+postgis: PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL
+postgis: object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the
+postgis: PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial
+postgis: database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's
+postgis: SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension.
