NAME

6       deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/dpkg/origins/filename
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  files  in  /etc/dpkg/origins can provide information about various
13       vendors who are providing Debian packages.
14
15       They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts  with
16       ‘#’.   Each field begins with a tag, such as Vendor or Parent, followed
17       by a colon and the body of the field.  Fields  are  delimited  only  by
18       field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines in length,
19       but the tools will join lines when processing the body of the field.
20
21       The file should be named according  to  the  vendor  name.   The  usual
22       convention  is  to  name  the  vendor file using the vendor name in all
23       lowercase, but some variation is permitted.  Namely, spaces are  mapped
24       to  dashes (‘-’), and the file can have the same casing as the value in
25       Vendor field, or it can be capitalized.
26
