Source: ncompress Section: utils Priority: optional Maintainer: Kenneth J. Pronovici Homepage: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1) Standards-Version: Package: ncompress Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: original Lempel-Ziv compress/uncompress programs This package provides the original compress and uncompress programs that used to be the de facto UNIX standard for compressing and uncompressing files. These programs implement a fast, simple Lempel-Ziv (LZW) file compression algorithm. . For Debian, the standard uncompress program is installed as uncompress.real, to avoid conflicting with other packages. . This package also contains a copyright notice and a brief discussion of the LZW patent history (written by one of the original authors) in the file /usr/share/doc/ncompress/README.Debian.
