dpkg-scansources(1) dpkg suite dpkg-scansources(1)
dpkg-scansources - create Sources index files
dpkg-scansources [option...] binary-dir [override-file [path-
prefix]] > Sources
dpkg-scansources scans the given binary-dir for .dsc files.
These are used to create a Debian source index, which is output
to stdout.
The override-file, if given, is used to set priorities in the
resulting index stanzas and to override the maintainer field
given in the .dsc files. The file can be compressed (since dpkg
1.15.5). See deb-override(5) for the format of this file.
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 .dsc file for the priority of the source
package, and the override entry for the first binary package
listed in the .dsc file to modify maintainer information. This
might change.
The path-prefix, 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.
Note: If you want to access the generated Sources file with
apt(8) you will probably need to compress the file with gzip(1)
(generating a Sources.gz file). apt(8) ignores uncompressed
Sources files except on local access (i.e. file:// sources).
-n, --no-sort
Do not sort the index stanzas. Normally they are sorted by
source package name.
-e, --extra-override file
Scan file to find supplementary overrides (since dpkg 1.15.4;
the file can be compressed since dpkg 1.15.5). See
deb-extra-override(5) for more information on its format.
-s, --source-override file
Use file 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 .src appended.
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.
--debug
Turn debugging on.
--help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
DPKG_COLORS
Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5). The currently
accepted values are: auto (default), always and never.
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:
0 and 1 (default).
deb-override(5), deb-extra-override(5), dpkg-scanpackages(1).
