DESCRIPTION

Configuration classes used by Config::Model

Model of files found under debian/source directory. See dpkg-source for details.

Elements

format - source package format

Specifies the format of the source package. A missing format implies a '1.0' source format.Mandatory. Type enum. choice: '1.0', '2.0', '3.0 (native)', '3.0 (quilt)', '3.0 (custom)', '3.0 (git)', '3.0 (bzr)'.

Here are some explanations on the possible values:

'1.0'

A source package in this format consists either of a .orig.tar.gz associated to a .diff.gz or a single .tar.gz (in that case the package is said to be native).

'2.0'

was the first specification of a new-generation source package format. This format is not recommended for wide-spread usage, the format ``3.0 (quilt)'' replaces it.

'3.0 (bzr)'

This format is experimental. It generates a single tarball containing the bzr repository.

'3.0 (custom)'

This format is particular. It doesn't represent a real source package format but can be used to create source packages with arbitrary files.

'3.0 (git)'

This format is experimental. A source package in this format consists of a single bundle of a git repository .git to hold the source of a package. There may also be a .git shallow file listing revisions for a shallow git clone.

'3.0 (native)'

extension of the native package format as defined in the 1.0 format.

'3.0 (quilt)'

A source package in this format contains at least an original tarball (.orig.tar.ext where ext can be gz, bz2, lzma and xz) and a debian tarball (.debian.tar.ext). It can also contain additional original tarballs (.orig-component.tar.ext).
