-<sect1>The deb Type
- <p>
- The <em>deb</em> type is to be a typical two level debian distributions,
- dist/<var>distribution</var>/<var>component</var>. Typically distribution
- is one of stable, unstable or testing while component is one of main,
- contrib, non-free or non-us. The format for the deb line is as follows:
-
- <p>
- deb <var>uri</var> <var>distribution</var> <var>component</var>
- [<var>component</var> ...]
-
- <p>
- <var>uri</var> for the <em>deb</em> type must specify the base of the
- debian distribution. APT will automatically generate the proper longer
- URIs to get the information it needs. <var>distribution</var> can specify
- an exact path, in this case the components must be omitted and
- <var>distribution</var> must end in a slash.
-
- <p>
- Since only one distribution can be specified per deb line it may be
- necessary to list a number of deb lines for the same URI. APT will
- sort the URI list after it has generated a complete set to allow
- connection reuse. It is important to order things in the sourcelist
- from most preferred to least preferred (fastest to slowest).
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>URI specification
-<p>
-URIs in the source list support a large number of access schemes which
-are listed in the sources.list manpage and can be further extended by
-transport binaries placed in /usr/lib/apt/methods. The most important
-builtin schemes are:
-
-<taglist>
-<tag>cdrom<item>
- The cdrom scheme is special in that If Modified Since queries are never
- performed and that APT knows how to match a cdrom to the name it
- was given when first inserted. APT also knows all of the possible
- mount points the cdrom drives and that the user should be prompted
- to insert a CD if it cannot be found. The path is relative to an
- arbitrary mount point (of APT's choosing) and must not start with a
- slash. The first pathname component is the given name and is purely
- descriptive and of the users choice. However, if a file in the root of
- the cdrom is called '.disk/info' its contents will be used instead of
- prompting. The name serves as a tag for the cdrom and should be unique.
- <example>
- cdrom:Debian 1.3/debian
- </example>
-
-<tag>http<item>
- This scheme specifies a HTTP server for the debian archive. HTTP is preferred
- over FTP because If Modified Since queries against the Package file are
- possible as well as deep pipelining and resume capabilities.
- <example>
- http://www.debian.org/archive
- </example>
-
-<tag>ftp<item>
- This scheme specifies a FTP connection to the server. FTP is limited because
- there is no support for IMS and is hard to proxy over firewalls.
- <example>
- ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian
- </example>
-
-<tag>file<item>
- The file scheme allows an arbitrary directory in the file system to be
- considered as a debian archive. This is useful for NFS mounts and
- local mirrors/archives.
- <example>
- file:/var/debian
- </example>
