+README is used to display SHORT description of an application and some
+additional instructions on how to build or use the package.
+You may list additional (optional) dependencies needed to enable new features.
+Some common rules for README:
+- Maximum of 72 characters on each line
+- Use 2-4 spaces and avoid TAB character
+- Plain ASCII is preferred
+- Do not include homepage URL
+- Additional notes before building
+ * user/group creation along with correct UID/GID
+ * strict dependency build order
+ * conflict with Slackware's package
+
+If you need to have longer instructions, please consider to have an
+additional README file, such as README.SBo or README.Slackware.
