Hi!
I'm new to packaging, and I am currently trying to write 'd/copyright'
file. I am watching some other repositories for studying the
conventions.
I can see that some packages have an upstream author's URL in their
'Copyright:', like 'Copyright: https://github.com/authorname'.
Even though the upstream source has their explicit copyright
information--like 'year name'-- in copyright file--like 'LICENSE.txt'.
Now I have some questions:
- Is it a one of the conventions? Can I write like that?
- Why use only the author's URL instead of the author's copyright
information like 'Copyright: year name <email>'?
- Is there a d/copyright guideline to read?
(I am currently studying with [1] [2] [3].)
This might be a silly question, of newcomer (= me).
Always a lot of appreciating!
