NAME

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

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:

         cme edit dpkg-copyright

       To check you file run:

         cme check dpkg-copyright

       To upgrade your file from an old spec, run:

         cme migrate dpkg-copyright

Elements

   Format
       URI of the format specification.  Mandatory. Type uniline.

       default value :
           https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

   Upstream-Name
       The name upstream uses for the software.  Optional. Type uniline.

       Note: Upstream-Name is migrated with '$name' and with:

       •   $name => "- Name"

   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.

       Note: Upstream-Contact values are migrated from '- Upstream-Maintainer'

   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.

       Note: Source is migrated with '"$old || $older ;"' and with:

       •   $old => "- Upstream-Source"

       •   $older => "- Original-Source-Location"

   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.

       Note: Comment is migrated with '$old' and with:

       •   $old => "- X-Comment"

   Copyright
       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 string.

   Files
       Patterns indicating files having the same license and  sharing  copyright  holders.   See  files  pattern
       documentation     <https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#files-field>    for
       details.  Optional. Type hash of node of class Dpkg::Copyright::Content .

   Files-Excluded
       White space separated list of file patterns to exclude from the package.  This  field  is  only  used  by
       uscan.       Example:       "*/Makefile.in       aclocal.m4".       See       also      UscanEnhancements
       <https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements>      and      the      files      pattern       documentation
       <https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#files-field>.  Optional. Type string.

   Maintainer
       Line(s)  containing  the  preferred address(es) to reach current upstream maintainer(s). May be free-form
