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
