NAME
       dpkg-scansources - create Sources index files

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-scansources [options] 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. See dpkg-scanpackages(1) for the
       format of this file. NB:  Since the override file is indexed by binary, not source,  pack-
       ages,  there's a bit of a problem here. The current implementation uses the highest prior-
       ity 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.

       -s, --source-override file
           Use file as the source override file. 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.
