+long_desc="
+ bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor.
+ It typically compresses files to within 10%% to 15%% of the best available
+ techniques, whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times
+ faster at decompression.
+
+ bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text
+ compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
+ considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based
+ compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical
+ compressors.
+
+ The archive file format of bzip2 (.bz2) is incompatible with that of its
+ predecessor, bzip (.bz).
+
+ This package is only meant to be used by xbps-src, don't install it manually."
