NAME
       dpkg-scansources - create Sources index files

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-scansources [option...] binary-dir [override-file [path-prefix]] >
       Sources

DESCRIPTION
       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 records and to override the maintainer field given  in  the  .dsc
       files.  The  file can be compressed. 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 implemen-
       tation 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  ignores  uncompressed  Sources files except on
       local access (i.e.  file:// sources).

OPTIONS
       -n, --no-sort
           Don't sort the index records. Normally they are  sorted  by  source
           package name.

       -e, --extra-override file
           Scan  file  to find supplementary overrides (the file can be
           compressed). 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 com-
           pressed).  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  sepa-
           rated  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.
