Usage

Overview

This commands use "licensecheck" command to scan license and copyright information from source files. The output of licensecheck is parsed to generate the Files information of "debian/copyright" files according to Debian specifications <https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/>

Tweaking results

Results can be tweaked either by:

•

Changing the list of files to scan or ignore. (By default, licensecheck will decide which file to scan or not.) See "Selecting or ignoring files to scan" in Dpkg::Copyright::Scanner

•

Specifying information for individual files or directories, such as copyright values, or to skip this file. See "Filling the blanks" in Dpkg::Copyright::Scanner.

•

Tweaking the copyright entries created by grouping and coaslescing information. See "Tweak copyright entries" in Dpkg::Copyright.
