Source: uucp Section: comm Priority: optional Maintainer: Thorsten Alteholz Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 10), texinfo, libpam-dev Standards-Version: 4.1.0 Homepage: http://airs.com/ian/uucp.html Package: uucp Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, cron (>=3.0pl1-42), bsd-mailx|mailx, libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-13.1), cu (= ${binary:Version}), netbase, openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver Recommends: postfix | exim4 | exim | smail | courier-mta | zmailer | rmail , logrotate Description: Unix to Unix Copy Program UUCP will copy files to or from another (usually *nix) system, which also runs uucp. . UUCP is used to transfer mail, news and random files between systems which are not connected by more modern networks. The communication can be made via modems, direct (hard-wired) serial connections or via an IP connection. Package: cu Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: call up another system The cu command is used to call up another system and act as a dial-in terminal (mostly on a serial line). It can also do simple file transfers with no error checking. . cu is part of the UUCP source but has been split into its own package because it can be useful even if you do not do uucp.
