+Source Package Fields [fields-src]
+==================================
+
+The fields in the source package metadata are:
+
+ * `Maintainer` (required)
+
+ The name and e-mail address of the package maintainer. This field must
+ follow the syntax of the `mailbox` symbol in RFC 5322 section 3.4.
+
+ * `Build-Depends` (optional)
+
+ A list of packages that must be installed before the package can be built.
+
+ * `Homepage` (optional)
+
+ The URL of the Web site for the package. Accessible at this site should be
+ origin source code and documentation and/or information. Though the
+ information in this field is machine-usable, the URL must not be surrounded
+ by angle brackets or any other characters.
+
+
+Binary Package Fields [fields-bin]
+==================================
+
+The fields in the binary package metadata are:
+
+ * `Architecture` (required)
+
+ A list of architectures for which this package may be built. The value may
+ be any one of the following:
+
+ - The string `all` to specify that all of the provided files are
+ architecture-independent;
+ - The string `any` to specify that at least some of the provided files are
+ architecture-dependent; or
+ - A space-separated list of one or more real or wildcard binary architecture
+ strings to specify that at least some of the provided files are only
+ usable on systems of the named binary architecture(s).
+
+ A "wildcard" binary architecture string is one in which one or two
+ components (called "wildcard components") is the string `any`. It shall be
+ considered to match any real binary architecture string for which the
+ non-wildcard components are equal.
+
+ * `Platform` (required)
+
+ A list of platforms for which this package may be built. The value may be
+ any one of the following:
+
+ - The string `all` to specify that all of the provided files are
+ platform-independent;
+ - The string `any` to specify that at least some of the provided files are
+ platform-dependent; or
+ - A space-separated list of one or more platform strings to specify that at
+ least some of the provided files are only usable on systems of the named
+ platform(s).
+
+ * `Essential` (optional)
+
+ A flag to indicate whether the package is essential for the functioning of a
+ system on which it is installed. If this field is set to `yes`, opkg will
+ refuse to remove the package except when upgrading it. If this field is set
+ to any other value or is omitted, the package may be removed by a user.
+
+ * `Depends` (optional)
+
+ A list of packages that must be installed and configured before the package
+ may itself be configured.
+
+ * `Recommends` (optional)
+
+ * `Suggests` (optional)
+
+ * `Pre-Depends` (optional)
+
+ A list of packages that must be installed before the package may itself be
+ installed.
+
+ * `Conflicts` (optional)
+
+ * `Provides` (optional)
+
+ * `Replaces` (optional)
+
+ * `Description` (required)
+
+ A description of the binary package. This is a multiline field. The first
+ line is a short synopsis, and all following lines are an extended
+ description.

+Change Log [changelog]
+======================
+
+Changes made to the source package should be explained in the file `changelog`.
+
+Each new package revision must be documented with an entry of the following
+format:
+
+ package (version) distributions
+ [zero or more blank lines]
+ * change details
+ [zero or more blank lines]
+ * more change details
+ more detailed change details
+ [zero or more blank lines]
+ -- maintainer date
+
+`package` is the source package name. Source package names may only consist of
+lowercase Latin letters, digits, plus and minus signs, and periods. Names must
+be at least two characters long and must start with either a letter or a digit.
+(A regular expression for this is `[a-z0-9][a-z0-9+.-]+`.)
+
+`version` is the source package version. See $[sectlink][src-ver] for the
+syntax of source package version identifiers.
+
+`distributions` is a list of distributions into which the package should be
+installed when uploaded to the package archive. The list consists of one or
+more distribution names, separated by spaces.
+
+`maintainer` is the name and e-mail address of the package maintainer. This
+field must follow the syntax of the `mailbox` symbol of RFC 5322 section 3.4.
+
+`date` is the date of packaging. This field must follow the syntax of the
+`date-time` symbol of RFC 5322 section 3.3.
+
+
+Platform Configuration File Lists [platconf]
+============================================
+
+Platform-specific configuration files used by the source package at build time
+shall be listed in the `platconf` file. Platform-specific configuration files
+used by the binary package(s) at run time shall be listed in the
+`<binpkg>.pkg/platconf` file.
+
+Source packages with a `platconf` file, a `<binpkg>.pkg/platconf` file, or both
+shall list in their build-time dependencies a package (real or virtual) that
+provides the listed platform-specific configuration files.
+
+Each configuration file must be described with an entry of the following format:
+
+ source destination
+
+`source` is the path to the file, relative to the platform configuration
+directory -- either `/usr/share/config/PLATFORM/PACKAGE-VERSION` or
+`/usr/share/config/PLATFORM/PACKAGE`, where `PLATFORM` is the architecture
+string denoting an application platform, `PACKAGE` is the name of the
+configurable source package, and `VERSION` is the upstream version of the
+configurable source package.
+
+`destination` is the path (file or directory) to which the file should be
+copied. For a file used at build time, it is a path relative to the package
+building work area. For a file used at run time, it is an absolute path in the
+user's filesystem hierarchy.
+
+
+Source Package Version Identifier [src-ver]
+===========================================
+
+In general, the syntax of source package version identifiers is:
+
+ <pkgver>[+sip<siprev>][-<pkgrev>][+<dist>-<distrev>]
+
+`<pkgver>` is the version of the original upstream package or the native
+package. It may only consist of lowercase Latin letters, digits, periods, and
+tildes. It must be at least one character long. (A regular expression for this
+is `[0-9a-z.~]+`.)
+
+If the upstream source archive needs to be repacked with certain changes for
+compliance with the Software Inclusion Policy, the string `+sip<siprev>` must be
+appended to `<pkgver>`. `<siprev>` is a number that should be incremented on
+each repack while `<pkgver>` remains constant. It should be reset to `1` for
+the first repack of a new upstream source archive. It must be a string of one
+or more digits, the first of which must be greater than or equal to `1`. (A
+regular expression for this is `[1-9][0-9]*`.)
+
+`<pkgrev>` is the version of the distribution packaging. It is optional and
+should be omitted for native packages. It should be incremented on each
+revision of packaging while `<pkgver>` and `<siprev>` remain constant. It
+should be reset to `1` for the first revision of packaging for a new upstream
+package version or source archive repack. It must be a string of one or more
+digits, the first of which must be greater than or equal to `1`. (A regular
+expression for this is `[1-9][0-9]*`.)
+
+If the package is to be installed into a distribution other than `trunk`, the
+string `+<dist>-<distrev>` must be appended to the end of the version
+identifier. `<dist>` is the distribution into which the package is to be
+installed, may only consist of lowercase Latin letters and digits, and must be
+at least one character long. (A regular expression for this is `[a-z0-9]+`.)
+`<distrev>` is a number that should be incremented on each upload to `<dist>`
+while `<pkgver>`, `<siprev>`, and `<pkgrev>` remain constant. It should be
+reset to `1` for the first upload to `<dist>` of a new upstream package version,
+source archive repack, or distribution packaging revision. It must be a string
+of one or more digits, the first of which must be greater than or equal to `1`.
+(A regular expression for this is `[1-9][0-9]*`.)

+Binary package names may only consist of lowercase Latin letters, digits, plus
+and minus signs, and periods. Names must be at least two characters long and
+must start with either a letter or a digit. (A regular expression for this is
+`[a-z0-9][a-z0-9+.-]+`.)
+
+This directory contains metadata and scripts for a binary package.
+
+`<binpkg>.pkg/control` [files-binpkg.pkg-control]
+-------------------------------------------------

+removed. See $[sectlink][scripts] for more information about maintainer
+scripts.
+
+`build` [files-build]
+---------------------
+
+After execution of the `config` file, this file must exist.
+
+This file is a makefile that controls the building of binary packages. See
+$[sectlink][build] for requirements for this file.
+
+`changelog` [files-changelog]
+-----------------------------
+
+This file is required.
+
+This file is a log of changes made to the source package. See
