deb-origin(5)                       Debian                       deb-origin(5)


NAME

       deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files


SYNOPSIS

       /etc/dpkg/origins/filename


DESCRIPTION

       The files in /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 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.
