 %global modname dogpile.cache
+%global sum A caching front-end based on the Dogpile lock
+%global desc Dogpile consists of two subsystems, one building on top of the other.\
+\
+dogpile provides the concept of a "dogpile lock", a control structure\
+which allows a single thread of execution to be selected as the\
+"creator" of some resource, while allowing other threads of execution to\
+refer to the previous version of this resource as the creation proceeds;\
+if there is no previous version, then those threads block until the\
+object is available.\
+\
+dogpile.cache is a caching API which provides a generic interface to\
+caching backends of any variety, and additionally provides API hooks\
+which integrate these cache backends with the locking mechanism of\
+dogpile.\
+\
+Overall, dogpile.cache is intended as a replacement to the Beaker\
+caching system, the internals of which are written by the same author.\
+All the ideas of Beaker which "work" are re- implemented in\
+dogpile.cache in a more efficient and succinct manner, and all the cruft\
+(Beaker\'s internals were first written in 2005) relegated to the trash\
+heap.
