# build-uvscan(1)

repackage Mcafee Antivirus as a full .deb

## NAME

build-uvscan - repackage Mcafee Antivirus as a full .deb

## SYNOPSIS

**build-uvscan**\
 **fakeroot build-uvscan**

## DESCRIPTION

The uvscan installer package installs McAfee Antivirus to your local machine. However, in some cases it might be useful to create full debian packages of McAfee Antivirus, for installation on multiple machines, and easy upgrading with apt.

It creates a 'uvscan-build-dir' directory which it uses for temporary processing of the packages, and builds the binary packages (uvscan3 and uvscan3-dats) in the current directory.

## OPTIONS

build-uvscan has no options.
