21 | .SH NAME | |
22 | deb\-origin \- Vendor-specific information files | |
23 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
24 | .BI %PKGCONFDIR%/origins/ filename | |
25 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
26 | The files in \fB%PKGCONFDIR%/origins\fP can provide information about | |
27 | various vendors who are providing Debian packages. | |
28 | ||
29 | They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts with | |
30 | ‘\fB#\fP’. | |
31 | Each field begins with a tag, such as \fBVendor\fP or \fBParent\fP, | |
32 | followed by a colon and the body of the field. Fields are delimited | |
33 | only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines | |
34 | in length, but the tools will join lines when processing the body of | |
35 | the field. | |
36 | ||
37 | The file should be named according to the vendor name. | |
38 | The usual convention is to name the vendor file using the vendor name | |
39 | in all lowercase, but some variation is permitted. | |
40 | Namely, spaces are mapped to dashes (‘\fB\-\fP’), and the file | |
41 | can have the same casing as the value in \fBVendor\fP field, or it can | |
42 | be capitalized. | |
