  1. # HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
  2. # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
  3. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
  4. # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
  5. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
  6. # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

  9. postgis:
  10. postgis: PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL
  11. postgis: database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL
  12. postgis: server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for
  13. postgis: geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or
  14. postgis: Oracle's Spatial extension.
