Tag: invalid-field-for-derivative
Severity: error
Check: fields/derivatives
Explanation: The specified field in <code>debian/control</code> does not match the
required format for this Debian derivative.
.
Derivative distributions of Debian may enforce additional restrictions
on such fields for many reasons including ensuring that:
.
- Debian maintainers are not contacted for forked or packages that
are otherwise modified by the derivative.
- The original maintainer is still credited for their work (eg. in a
<code>XSBC-Original-Maintainer</code> field).
- References to revision control systems (eg. <code>Vcs-Git</code>) are
pointing to the correct, updated location.
- Fields that become misleading in the context of a derivative are
removed.
