+Version:     1.8.1
+x-revision: 1
+Synopsis:    shell-like (systems) programming in Haskell
+
+Description: Shelly provides convenient systems programming in Haskell,
+             similar in spirit to POSIX shells. Shelly:
+             .
+               * is aimed at convenience and getting things done rather than
+                 being a demonstration of elegance.
+             .
+               * has detailed and useful error messages
+             .
+               * maintains its own environment, making it thread-safe.
+             .
+               * is modern, using Text and system-filepath/system-fileio
+             .
+             Shelly is originally forked from the Shellish package.
+             .
+             See the shelly-extra package for additional functionality.
+             .
