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 (‘B<->’), and the file +can have the same casing as the value in B<Vendor> field, or it can +be capitalized. + +=head1 FIELDS + +=over + +=item B<Vendor:> I<vendor-name> (required) + +The value of this field determines the vendor name. + +=item B<Vendor-URL:> I<vendor-url> + +The value of this field determines the vendor URL. + +=item B<Bugs:> I<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/). + +=item B<Parent:> I<vendor-name> + +The value of this field determines the vendor name of the vendor that +this vendor derives from. + +=back + +=head1 EXAMPLE + + Vendor: Debian + Vendor-URL: https://www.debian.org/ + Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +B<dpkg-vendor>(1) |
