deb-origin(5) dpkg suite deb-origin(5)
deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files
/usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins/filename
The files in /usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins can provide information
about various vendors who are providing Debian packages.
They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts
with ‘#’. Each field begins with a tag, such as Vendor or
Parent, followed by a colon and the body of the field. Fields are
delimited only by field tags. In other words, field text may be
multiple lines in length, but the tools will join lines when
processing the body of the field.
The file should be named according to the vendor name. The usual
convention is to name the vendor file using the vendor name in
all lowercase, but some variation is permitted. Namely, spaces
are mapped to dashes (‘-’), and the file can have the same casing
as the value in Vendor field, or it can be capitalized.
Vendor: vendor-name (required)
The value of this field determines the vendor name.
Vendor-URL: vendor-url
The value of this field determines the vendor URL.
Bugs: bug-url
The value of this field determines the type and address of
the bug tracking system used by this vendor. It can be a
mailto URL or a debbugs URL (e.g.,
debbugs://bugs.debian.org/).
Parent: vendor-name
The value of this field determines the vendor name of the
vendor that this vendor derives from.
Vendor: Debian
Vendor-URL: https://www.debian.org/
Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
