debian/upstream

This directory contains files describing the upstream project that is packaged.

debian/upstream/metadata

This is a file in YAML format where information about Upstream is recorded for the UpstreamMetadata gatherer.

This syntax is being formalised as DEP 12.

debian/upstream/signing-key.asc

This file is used by uscan to authentify the source archive downloaded at the URL indicated by the debian/watch file.

debian/upstream/edam

This is a file in YAML format to categorise and describe the Debian package with terms of the EDAM ontology (browse). Together with the debian/upstream/metadata and debian/control files, the upstream folder then contains every information to auto-create a decent entry in the bio.tools database of the Euroean ELIXIR project. If more than a single binary package is created, the file may be decided to name packagename.edam, instead. See debian/upstream/edam for details.
