Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Getopt::Long::Descriptive is yet another Getopt library. It's built atop Getopt::Long, and gets a lot of its features, but tries to avoid making you think about its huge array of options. It also provides usage (help) messages, data validation, and a few other useful features.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
