+Libsolv
+=======
+
 This is libsolv, a free package dependency solver using a satisfiability
-algorihtm.
+algorithm.
+
+The code is based on two major, but independent, blocks:
+
+ 1. Using a dictionary approach to store and retrieve package and
+    dependency information in a fast and space efficient manner.
+
+ 2. Using satisfiability, a well known and researched topic, for
+    resolving package dependencies.
+
+The sat-solver code has been written to aim for the newest packages,
+record the decision tree to provide introspection, and also allows to
+provide the user with suggestions on how to deal with unsolvable
+problems. It also takes advantage of the repository storage to
+minimize memory usage.
+
+Supported package formats:
