+%description
+The rosdistro tool allows you to get access to the full dependency tree and 
+the version control system information of all packages and repositories. To 
+increase performance, the rosdistro tool will automatically look for a cache 
+file on your local disk. If no cache file is found locally, it will try to 
+download the latest cache file from the server. The cache files are only used 
+to improve performance, and are not needed to get correct results. rosdistro 
+will automatically go to Github to find any dependencies that are not part 
+of the cache file. Note that operation without a cache file can be very slow, 
+depending on your own internet connection and the response times of Github. 
+The rosdistro tool will always write the latest dependency information to a 
+local cache file, to speed up performance for the next query.
