+  <longdescription lang="en">
+    xmake is a lightweight cross-platform build utility based on Lua. It uses
+    xmake.lua to maintain project builds. Compared with makefile/CMakeLists.txt,
+    the configuration syntax is more concise and intuitive. It is very friendly
+    to novices and can quickly get started in a short time. Let users focus more
+    on actual project development.
+    It can compile the project directly like Make/Ninja, or generate project
+    files like CMake/Meson, and it also has a built-in package management system
+    to help users solve the integrated use of C/C++ dependent libraries.
