Note: Since +the override file is indexed by binary, not source packages, there's a bit +of a problem here. The current implementation uses the highest priority of +all the binary packages produced by a \fI.dsc\fR file for the priority of the +source package, and the override entry for the first binary package listed +in the \fI.dsc\fR file to modify maintainer information. This might change. +.PP +The \fIpath-prefix\fR, if given, is prepended to the directory field in the +generated source index. You generally use this to make the directory +fields contain the path from the top of the Debian archive hierarchy. +. +.PP +.B Note: +If you want to access the generated Sources file with +.BR apt (8) +you will probably need to compress the file with +.BR gzip (1) +(generating a Sources.gz file). apt ignores uncompressed Sources files +except on local access (i.e. +.B file:// +sources). +. +.SH OPTIONS +.IP "\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-no\-sort\fR" 4 +Don't sort the index records. Normally they are sorted by source package +name. +.TP +.IP "\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-extra\-override\fR \fIfile\fP" 4 +Scan \fIfile\fP to find supplementary overrides (since dpkg 1.15.4; +the file can be compressed since dpkg 1.15.5). +See +.BR deb\-extra\-override (5) +for more information on its format. +.IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-source\-override\fR \fIfile\fR" 4 +Use \fIfile\fR as the source override file (the file can be compressed +since dpkg 1.15.5). +The default is the name of the override file you specified with \fI.src\fR +appended. +.sp +The source override file is in a different format from the binary override +file. It contains only two whitespace separated fields, the first is the +source package name and the second is the section. Blank lines and comment +lines are ignored in the normal manner. If a package appears in both files +the source override takes precedence for setting the section. +.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fR" 4 +Turn debugging on. +.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4 +Show the usage message and exit. +.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4 +Show the version and exit. +. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B DPKG_COLORS +Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5). +The currently accepted values are: \fBauto\fP (default), \fBalways\fP and +\fBnever\fP. +.TP +.B DPKG_NLS +If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native Language Support, +also known as internationalization (or i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0). +The accepted values are: \fB0\fP and \fB1\fP (default). +. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR deb\-override (5), +.BR deb\-extra\-override (5), +.BR dpkg\-scanpackages (1). |
