NAME

Config::Model::models::Debian::Dpkg::Copyright - Configuration class Debian::Dpkg::Copyright

VERSION

version 1.242

DESCRIPTION

Configuration classes used by Config::Model

Machine-readable debian/copyright. Parameters from former version of DEP-5 are flagged as deprecated. The idea is to enable migration from older specs to CANDIDATE spec.

To edit a copyright file, go into your package development directory and run:

  config-edit -application dpkg-copyright
   

To check you file run:

  config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none
    

To upgrade your file from an old spec, run:

  config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none -save

Elements

Format

URI of the format specification, such as: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?op=file&rev=REVISION. Mandatory. Type uniline. default: 'http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/'.

Upstream-Name

The name upstream uses for the software. Optional. Type uniline.

Upstream-Contact

The preferred address(es) to reach the upstream project. May be free-form text, but by convention will usually be written as a list of RFC5822 addresses or URIs. Optional. Type list of uniline.

Source

An explanation from where the upstream source came from. Typically this would be a URL, but it might be a free-form explanation. The Debian Policy, 12.5 requires this information unless there are no upstream sources, which is mainly the case for native Debian packages. If the upstream source has been modified to remove non-free parts, that should be explained in this field. Optional. Type string.

Disclaimer

This field can be used in the case of non-free and contrib packages (see [Policy 12.5]( http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile)). Optional. Type string.

Comment

This field can provide additional information. For example, it might quote an e-mail from upstream justifying why the license is acceptable to the main archive, or an explanation of how this version of the package has been forked from a version known to be DFSG-free, even though the current upstream version is not. Optional. Type string.

Copyright information for the package as a whole, which may be different or simplified from a combination of all the per-file copyright information. See also Copyright below in the Files paragraph section. Optional. Type list of uniline.

Files

Patterns indicating files having the same license and sharing copyright holders. See "File patterns" below. Optional. Type hash of node.

Global-License
