+openais (OSI Certified impl of Application Interface Specification)
+
+The OpenAIS Standards Based Cluster Framework is an OSI Certified
+implementation of the Service Availability Forum Application
+Interface Specification (AIS). The Application Interface
+Specification is a software API and policies which are used to
+develop applications that maintain service during faults. Restarting
+and failover of applications is also provided for those deploying
+applications which may not be modified.
+
+The OpenAIS software is built to operate on the Corosync Cluster
+Engine (http://www.corosync.org) which allows any third party to
+implement plugin cluster services using the infrastructure provided.
+
+In order to have a functioning High Availability software stack,
+before running this SlackBuild, build AND install, each in order,
+the following other SlackBuilds.
+
+Requires: libnet, libesmtp, clusterglue, clusterresourceagents,
+and corosync all available at SlackBuilds.org.
