+SUMMARY="A tool for distributed software configuration management"
+DESCRIPTION="Fossil is a simple, high-reliability, distributed version \
+control system like Git and Mercurial, but Fossil also supports distributed \
+bug tracking, distributed wiki, and a distributed blog mechanism all in a \
+single integrated package.
+
+Additionally, Fossil also has a built-in and easy-to-use web interface that \
+simplifies project tracking and promotes situational awareness."
