The <literal>release</literal> command generates a Release file from a

- Packages, Packages.gz, Packages.bz2, Sources, Sources.gz,
- Sources.bz2, Release and md5sum.txt files. It then writes to
- stdout a Release file containing an MD5 digest and SHA1 digest
+ directory tree. It recursively searches the given directory for uncompressed
+ <filename>Packages</filename> and <filename>Sources</filename> files and the ones
+ compressed with <command>gzip</command>, <command>bzip2</command> or <command>lzma</command>
