deb-override(5) dpkg suite deb-override(5)
deb-override - Debian archive override file
override
While most information about a package can be found in the
control file, some is managed centrally by the distribution czars
rather than by the maintainer in order to offer some global
consistency. This information is found in the override file.
The override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format.
Comments are allowed (denoted with a #).
package priority section [maintainer-info]
package is the name of the package. Entries in the override file
for packages not found in the tree of binary packages are
ignored.
priority and section correspond to the respective control fields
available in the .deb. The allowed values are specific to each
distribution archive.
maintainer-info, if present, can be either the name of a
maintainer for an unconditional override, or else old-maintainer
=> new-maintainer to perform a substitution.
The override files used to make the official Packages lists may
be found in the indices directory on any Debian mirror.
dpkg-scanpackages(1), dpkg-scansources(1), apt-ftparchive(1).
