Assuming you have apt >> 0.5.0, man apt-ftparchive. ftparchive is pretty easy to use IMO. Otherwise, you'll have to use dpkg-scanpackages and dpkg-scansources (from the dpkg-dev package). Both, of course, have manpages as well ;) NB: You don't really need your own override file; both will work fine without one. Even though dpkg-scan* asks for one on the command line, you can just pass it /dev/null :) Of course, feel free to ask if you run into trouble or anything -chris -- "Meat. They're made out of meat."
