+MySQL is a relational SQL database management system with libmysqlclient being
+its C library. Applications can use this library to pass queries to MySQL
+Server and to receive the results of those queries using the C programming
+language. For more information see:
+
+https://www.mysql.com
+
+This package contains the original libmysqlclient library source code overlaid
+with the build2-based build system and packaged for the build2 package manager
+(bpkg).
+
+See the INSTALL file for the prerequisites and installation instructions.
+
+Send questions, bug reports, or any other feedback about the library itself to
+the MySQL mailing lists. Send build system and packaging-related feedback to
+the packaging@build2.org mailing list (see https://lists.build2.org for posting
+guidelines, etc).
+
+The packaging of libmysqlclient for build2 is tracked in a Git repository at:
