+pacemaker (a scalable High-Availability cluster resource manager)
+
+Pacemaker achieves maximum availability for your cluster services
+by detecting and recovering from node and service-level failures. It
+achieves this by utilizing the messaging and membership capabilities
+provided by your preferred cluster infrastructure (currently either
+OpenAIS or Heartbeat), If the startup and shutdown of your service
+can scripted, Pacemaker can improve it's availability. Pacemaker
+can manage clusters of practically any size and comes with a powerful
+dependency model for accurately modeling your environment.
+Home: http://clusterlabs.org
+
+Thanks to the decision of the developers to completely bypass
+the standards most other projects conform to:
+ * The SlackBuild script contains hard-coding.
+ * The build depends on autoconf, automake and libtool.
+ * The build will produce soft-errors relating to mercurial,
+ with invalid single-operand basename and dirname calls.
+
+This SlackBuild is configured to use libesmtp which is also
+available from SBo. If you don't want esmtp support you should
+change the "--with-esmtp \" line in the script to
+"--without-esmtp \".
+
+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,
+corosync, and openais all available at SlackBuilds.org.
