Version     : 2.5
Release     : 10.fc17
URL         : http://alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/
Summary     : A text-based modem control and terminal emulation program
Description :

program somewhat similar to MSDOS Telix. Minicom includes a dialing
directory, full ANSI and VT100 emulation, an (external) scripting
language, and other features.

Update Information:

Disabling lock path configuration entry in the setup when building with LOCKDEV support (our case) to avoid confusions.
The lockdev library doesn't support configurable lock paths. The lock path is hardcoded in the lockdev and that makes the lock path configuration entry in minicom redundant/unused.
