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:
       'http://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.

        $old || $older ;

       even though the current upstream version is not.Optional. Type string.
