=head1 NAME
deb-extra-override - Debian archive extra override file
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<override>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
While most information about a binary/source package can be found in the
control/.dsc file, all of it can be overridden when it's exported to
Packages/Sources files. The extra override file contains those overrides.
The extra override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format. Comments are
allowed (denoted with a
B<#>).
=over
I<package>
I<field-name>
I<value>
=back
I<package>
is the name of the binary/source package.
I<field-name>
is the name of the field that is overridden.
I<value>
is the value to put in the field. It can contain spaces as the line is split
in no more than 3 columns when it's parsed.
The extra override files used to make the official Packages lists may be found
in the
I<indices>
directory on any Debian mirror.
