+ELF Package Notes Reference Implementation
+
+## Description
+
+This repository provides RPM and DEB packaging tools to generate an ELF note
+that will be linked into compiled binaries (programs and shared libraries) to
+provide metadata about the package for which the binary was compiled.
+
+See [Package Metadata for Core Files](https://systemd.io/ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA/)
+for the overview and details.
+
+The new `--package-metadata` option provided by bfd, gold, mold and lld is used.
+
+## Requirements
+* binutils (>= 2.39)
+* mold (>= 1.3.0)
+* lld (>= 15.0.0)
