Config...Pattern(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for Config...Pattern(3pm) 💅 and the whole entire point of it is the config class Dpkg::Copyright::FillBlanks::Pattern — like, that's the Configuration class era we're living in rn. she's fancy, she's perl, she's got opinions about copyright files. periodt. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

These are the configuration classes that Config::Model uses, okay?? That's the whole vibe. Config::Model is the one running the show here, and this pattern thing is one of its little config babies. 👑

🌸 Elements 🌸

🍓 copyright

Optional, bestie. Type string. that's it, that's the whole entry. ✨

💜 override-copyright

so the "override-copyright" key exists so you can ignore the copyright info that's coming from the source, and instead provide the correct info yourself. it's giving "I'll handle this personally" energy. 🙈

⚠️ but listen — use this as a last resort, like literally only when the encoding of the owner isn't ascii or utf-8. that's the only time it's allowed to be the main character. and no cap: a warning will be shown each time a copyright is overridden. every single time. she's watching. 👀

Optional. Type string.

🧚 license

this one's the license keyword — either similar to the one that licensecheck gives you, OR the license short name as required by the Debian copyright specification. iykyk. 💫

Optional. Type uniline.

🌈 override-license

the "override-license" key is the sibling of the last one tbh — it lets you ignore the license info coming from the source and put the correct info in instead. again: last resort energy only. use it when the extracted license is corrupted, and then go fill a bug against libconfig-model-dpkg-perl so this issue actually gets fixed. do your part bestie 🫶

and same deal as before — a warning will be shown each time a license is overridden. yes, every time. 😭

Optional. Type string.

🎀 skip

skip the files like a file without any information. simple as that. she's unbothered, she's skipping. 💅

Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :

0

⭐ comment

this field is just here for bookkeeping and is not used by cme update dpkg-copyright. so like, she's decorative. she's a vibe. she does not participate. 🤷‍♀️

Optional. Type string.

👑 forwarded-comment

this field is copied verbatim into the target copyright entry. no edits, no commentary, no notes — straight copy, exactly as you wrote it. iconique. 🔥

Optional. Type string.
