✨ dpt-debian-upstream ✨

okay bestie, welcome to dpt-debian-upstream, a lil member of the Debian Perl packaging Tools family (that's the dpt crew 🫶). she's short, she's sweet, she's here to do one job and do it flawlessly. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

dpt-debian-upstream — the girl who converts resources from META.{json,yml} into debian/upstream/metadata

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dpt debian-upstream

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea. dpt debian-upstream reads the info from your META.json or META.yml file and writes it out to debian/upstream/metadata — and she does it according to the UpstreamMetaData specification, no cap. 📝✨

literally her whole thing. in one side, out the other, but respectably formatted. iconic behaviour honestly.

⚠️ heads up bestie: please, note that upstream links will be switched to https URLs. so if you had some lil http://url sitting pretty in there, she's upgrading the vibe to https and that's just how it is. 🔒💅

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

  • CPAN::Meta::Spec — the spec that explains what all that META file info means 🧚
  • UpstreamMetaData — the spec for what goes in that metadata file: <https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata> 📚

iykyk. these two are the receipts for everything above. 🔥
