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  (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	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 (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.

ENVIRONMENT
       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).
