override
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
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.
<P>
The extra override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format. Comments are
allowed (denoted with a
<B>#</B>).
<P>
<I>package</I>
<I>field-name</I>
<I>value</I>
<P>
<I>package</I>
is the name of the binary/source package.
<P>
<I>field-name</I>
is the name of the field that is overridden.
<I>value</I>
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.
<P>
The extra override files used to make the official Packages lists may be found
in the
<I>indices</I>
directory on any Debian mirror.
