+# 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 ':'.

+haskell-tar: haskell-tar (Reading, writing and manipulating ".tar" archive files)
+haskell-tar:
+haskell-tar: This library is for working with ".tar" archive files. It can read
+haskell-tar: and write a range of common variations of archive format including
+haskell-tar: V7, USTAR, POSIX and GNU formats. It provides support for packing
+haskell-tar: and unpacking portable archives. This makes it suitable for
+haskell-tar: distribution but not backup because details like file ownership and
+haskell-tar: exact permissions are not preserved.
