+# DESCRIPTION
+
+RPM uses a pluggable interface coupled with a file classifier to add dependency
+information to packages at build time. This system relies on specialized,
domain
+specific executables, called _generators_, that do the heavy-lifting of
figuring
+out the dependencies from the files present in the buildroot. It complements
the
+manual tags, such as *Requires* or *Provides*, in *rpm-spec*(5) files.
+
+Generators are paired with logical labels, called _file attributes_, assigned
to
+the packaged files by the file classifier. This ensures that every file is only
+processed by the applicable generator(s), as opposed to all generators, which
+simplifies their implementation and significantly improves the overall build
+performance.
Ack, I'll probably simplify the DESCRIPTION to the following:
"RPM uses a pluggable interface coupled with a file classifier to add

figuring out dependencies from files that belong to their domain, called a
file attribute. It complements the manual tags, such as Requires or Provides,
in rpm-spec(5) files."
