20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 __dpkg-scansources__ scans the given ''binary-dir''
24 for ''.dsc'' files. These are used to create a Debian
25 source index, which is output to stdout.
26
27
28 The ''override-file'', if given, is used to set
29 priorities in the resulting index records and to override
30 the maintainer field given in the ''.dsc'' files. See
31 dpkg-scanpackages for the format of this file.
32 NB: Since the override file is indexed by
33 binary, not source, packages, there's a bit of a problem
34 here. The current implementation uses the highest priority
35 of all the binary packages produced by a ''.dsc'' file
36 for the priority of the source package, and the override
37 entry for the first binary package listed in the ''.dsc''
38 file to modify maintainer information. This might
39 change.
40
41
42 The ''path-prefix'', if given, is prepended to the
43 directory field in the generated source index. You generally
44 use this to make the directory fields contain the path from
45 the top of the Debian archive hierarchy.

71 Use ''file'' as the source override file. The default is
72 the name of the override file you specified with ''.src''
73 appended.
74
75
76 The source override file is in a different format from the
77 binary override file. It contains only two whitespace
78 separated fields, the first is the source package name and
79 the second is the section. Blank lines and comment lines are
80 ignored in the normal manner. If a package appears in both
81 files the source override takes precedence for setting the
82 section.
