+MessagePack is an efficient binary serialisation format that lets you
+exchange data among multiple languages like JSON.
+
+Versions later than 3.3.0 have separate C and C++ implementations.
+This slackbuild builds only the C++ implementation of MessagePack as
+header-only library.
+If you need also the C implementation you have to build and install
+the package msgpack-c-c even. Both packages can coexist.
+
+Note: msgpack-c-cpp conflicts with the old msgpack-c package, that
+implements both C and C++ but is based on a old outdated release of
+msgpack-c. If you have msgpack-c version 3.3.0 in your system, please
+remove it before installing these package.
+
+This slackbuild is experimental because some slackbuilds that require
+msgpack-c should be updated. If your installed packages work still with
+the old msgpack-c for version 3.3.0, you should kept it.
+
+At the moment, this package is tested and strictly required by mmtf-cpp,
+other slackbuilds based on msgpack-c could not work with this
+installation.
