| | 62 | > names the archive to which all the packages in the directory tree |

| | 64 | > specifies that all of the packages in the directory tree below the |

| | 70 | > the Codename: line |
| | 71 | > names the codename to which all the packages in the directory tree |
| | 72 | > belong. For example, the line "Codename: squeeze" specifies that |
| | 73 | > all of the packages in the directory tree below the parent of the |
| | 74 | > Release file belong to a version named squeeze. Specifying this |

| | 79 | > the Version: line |
| | 80 | > names the release version. For example, the packages in the tree |
| | 81 | > might belong to Debian GNU/Linux release version 3.0. Note that |
| | 82 | > there is normally no version number for the testing and unstable |
| | 83 | > distributions because they have not been released yet. Specifying |
| | 84 | > this in the APT preferences file would require one of the following |

| | 86 | > |
| | 87 | > Pin: release v=3.0 |
| | 88 | > Pin: release a=stable, v=3.0 |

| | 90 | > |
| | 91 | > the Component: line |
| | 92 | > names the licensing component associated with the packages in the |
| | 93 | > directory tree of the Release file. For example, the line |
| | 94 | > "Component: main" specifies that all the packages in the directory |
| | 95 | > tree are from the main component, which entails that they are |
| | 96 | > licensed under terms listed in the Debian Free Software Guidelines. |
| | 97 | > Specifying this component in the APT preferences file would require |
| | 98 | > the line: |
| | 99 | > |
| | 100 | > Pin: release c=main |
| | 101 | > |
| | 102 | > the Origin: line |
| | 103 | > names the originator of the packages in the directory tree of the |
| | 104 | > Release file. Most commonly, this is Debian. Specifying this origin |

| | 108 | > |
| | 109 | > the Label: line |
| | 110 | > names the label of the packages in the directory tree of the |
