NAME

       deb-extra-override - Debian archive extra override file

SYNOPSIS

       override

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
       #).

            package field-name value

       package is the name of the binary/source package.

       field-name  is  the name of the field that is overridden.  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  indices  directory
       on any Debian mirror.
