Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Upstream-Name: swingreader-java Upstream-Contact: jalview-discuss@jalview.org Source: The original tarball was made from sourceforge's SVN repository thus: . svn export http://jswingreader.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jswingreader/trunk/jswingreader/JSwingReader .
