Package Source

Definitions

1. The source code or source origin from which a package is built or retrieved. In packaging workflows, understanding the package source matters for trust, reproducibility, and debugging supply-chain issues.

   In plain English: The source code or source location a package comes from.

   Example: "The audit required pinning the exact package source because the original build process still pulled archives from mutable upstream URLs."
