+Package: meshbay-cli
+Version: __VERSION__
+Section: net
+Priority: optional
+Architecture: __ARCH__
+Maintainer: MeshBay Team <devel@meshbay.org>
+Homepage: https://meshbay.org
+Depends: meshbay-common (= __VERSION__)
+Description: MeshBay command-line client — a member's groups and files, from a terminal
+ meshbay-cli signs in to a MeshBay hub, lists the groups the account belongs
+ to and their folders, and downloads and uploads files, directly with the
+ node serving each group and end-to-end encrypted. With no argument it opens
+ an interactive two-pane view.
+ .
+ Installs into the shared venv at /opt/meshbay-common/venv/, with the Python
+ packages only the client needs (Textual, keyring, argon2-cffi). Administering
+ a node is meshbay-node's business, not this package's.
