+zlib is a general-purpose lossless data compression C library. The data format
+used by the library is described by RFCs 1950, 1951, and 1952 (zlib, deflate,
+and gzip formats, respectively). For more information see:
+
+https://www.zlib.net/
+
+This package contains the original libz 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
+zlib@gzip.org or to Gilles Vollant at info@winimage.com (Windows DLL-related
+questions). 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 zlib for build2 is tracked in a Git repository at:
+
+https://git.build2.org/cgit/packaging/zlib/
