+      (description "This package provides access to a local copy of the
+Emacsmirror package database.  It provides low-level functions for querying
+the database and a @file{package.el} user interface for browsing the database.
+Epkg itself is not a package manager.
+
+Getting a local copy:
+
+@example
+git clone https://github.com/emacsmirror/epkgs.git ~/.emacs.d/epkgs
+cd ~/.emacs.d/epkgs
+git submodule init
+git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git@@github.com:
+git submodule update
+@end example
+
+Some submodule may be missing.  In this case Git will prompt for a GitHub user
+name and password.  To skip it press a @key{Return} key.
+
+You could get a Epkg package list by invoking @code{epkg-list-packages} in
+Emacs.")
