 Description: computes the co-installability kernel of a deb or RPM distribution
- Long description: TODO
+ This packages is useful when you are interested in analyzing
+ co-installability of packages in a large package repository.  A set
+ of package is called co-installable if it can be extended to a set
+ that satisfies all inter-package relations (dependencies, conflicts,
+ etc.).
+ .
+ This tool reduces a repository to a much smaller one, its so-called
+ co-installability  kernel, that behaves exactly the same as far as
+ co-installability of package is concerned. This is achieved by
+ - dropping all relations that are not relevant for this purpose
+ - identifying all packages that behave the same.
+ The kernel is typically orders of magnitude smaller than the original
+ repository.
