+%description
+The libdap++ library contains an implementation of DAP2. This package
+contains the library, dap-config, getdap and deflate. The script dap-config
+simplifies using the library in other projects. The getdap utility is a
+simple command-line tool to read from DAP2 servers. It is built using the
+library and demonstrates simple uses of it. The deflate utility is used by
+the library when it returns compressed responses.
