+%description
+Apache Avro is a data serialization system.
+
+Avro provides:
+
+* Rich data structures.
+* A compact, fast, binary data format.
+* A container file, to store persistent data.
+* Remote procedure call (RPC).
+* Simple integration with dynamic languages. Code generation is not required
+  to read or write data files nor to use or implement RPC protocols. Code
+  generation as an optional optimization, only worth implementing for
+  statically typed languages.
