+%description
+psl-make-dafsa converts ASCII string into C source or a binary format,
+The format used is DAFSA, deterministic acyclic finate state automaton.
+
+libpsl is capable of using this compact binary form of the Public Suffix List (PSL).
+
+This package is a build dependency for the publicsuffix package.
