Usage: apt-ftparchive [options] command Commands: packages binarypath [overridefile [pathprefix]] sources srcpath [overridefile [pathprefix]] contents path release path generate config [groups] clean config

apt-ftparchive generates index files for Debian archives. It supports many styles of generation from fully automated to functional replacements for dpkg-scanpackages and dpkg-scansources

apt-ftparchive generates Package files from a tree of .debs. The Package file contains the contents of all the control fields from each package as well as the MD5 hash and filesize. An override file is supported to force the value of Priority and Section.

Similarly apt-ftparchive generates Sources files from a tree of .dscs. The --source-override option can be used to specify a src override file

The 'packages' and 'sources' command should be run in the root of the tree. BinaryPath should point to the base of the recursive search and override file should contain the override flags. Pathprefix is appended to the filename fields if present. Example usage from the Debian archive: apt-ftparchive packages dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ > \ dists/potato/main/binary-i386/Packages
