It is allowed to add additional user-defined fields to the control file. The
|
|
|
tools will ignore these fields. If you want the fields to be copied over to
|
|
|
the output files, such as the binary packages, you need to use a custom naming
|
|
|
-scheme: the fields should start with an X, followed by one or more of the
|
|
|
-letters BCS and a hyphen.
|
|
|
-If the letter B is used, the field will appear in the
|
|
|
-control file in the binary package, see
|

-.BR deb\-control (5),
|
|
|
-for the letter S in the source package control file as constructed by
|
|
|
-.BR dpkg\-source (1)

|
-and for the letter C in the upload control (.changes) file. Note that the
|
|
|
-X[BCS]\- prefixes are stripped when the fields are copied over to the
|
|
|
-output files. A field \fBXC\-Approved\-By\fP will appear as

-\fBApproved\-By\fP in the changes file and will not appear in the binary or
