The <literal>release</literal> command generates a Release file from a
- directory tree. It recursively searches the given directory for uncompressed
- <filename>Packages</filename> and <filename>Sources</filename> files and ones
- compressed with <command>gzip</command>, <command>bzip2</command> or <command>lzma</command>
- as well as <filename>Release</filename> and <filename>md5sum.txt</filename> files by default
- (<literal>APT::FTPArchive::Release::Default-Patterns</literal>). Additional filename patterns
- can be added by listing them in <literal>APT::FTPArchive::Release::Patterns</literal>.
- It then writes to stdout a <filename>Release</filename> file containing (by default) an MD5,
+ directory tree. It recursively searches the given directory for
+ uncompressed and compressed <filename>Packages</filename>,
+ <filename>Sources</filename>, <filename>Contents</filename>,
+ <filename>Components</filename> and <filename>icons</filename> files as

Values for the additional metadata fields in the Release file are
taken from the corresponding variables under

(the path is prefixed by <literal>ArchiveDir</literal>).
