+    longDescription = ''
+      Opam's default solver is designed to maintain a set of packages
+      over time, minimising disruption when installing new programs and
+      finding a compromise solution across all packages.
+
+      In many situations (e.g. CI, local roots or duniverse builds) this
+      is not necessary, and we can get a solution much faster by using
+      a different algorithm.
+
+      This package provides a generic solver library which uses 0install's
+      solver library. The library uses the CUDF library in order to interface
+      with opam as it is the format common used to talk to all the supported solvers.
