+Summary: A tool for creating scanners (text pattern recognizers).
+Name: flex
+Version: 2.5.4a
+Release: 11
+Copyright: GPL
+Group: Development/Tools
+Source: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/flex/flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz
+Patch0: flex-2.5.4a-skel.patch
+Prefix: %{_prefix}
+BuildRoot: /var/tmp/%{name}-root
+
+%description
+The flex program generates scanners.  Scanners are programs which can
+recognize lexical patterns in text.  Flex takes pairs of regular
+expressions and C code as input and generates a C source file as
+output.  The output file is compiled and linked with a library to
+produce an executable.  The executable searches through its input for
+occurrences of the regular expressions.  When a match is found, it
+executes the corresponding C code.  Flex was designed to work with
+both Yacc and Bison, and is used by many programs as part of their
+build process.
+
+You should install flex if you are going to use your system for
+application development.
