+%description
+    Babl is a dynamic, any to any, pixel format translation library.
+    It allows converting between different methods of storing pixels
+    known as pixel formats that have with different bitdepths and other
+    data representations, color models and component permutations. A
+    vocabulary to formulate new pixel formats from existing primitives
+    is provided as well as the framework to add new color models and
+    data types.
