2015-08-10detect and error out on conflicting Trusted settingsDavid Kalnischkies
A specific trust state can be enforced via a sources.list option, but it effects all entries handled by the same Release file, not just the entry it was given on so we enforce acknowledgement of this by requiring the same value to be (not) set on all such entries.
2015-08-10bring back deb822 sources.list entries as .sourcesDavid Kalnischkies
Having two different formats in the same file is very dirty and causes external tools to fail hard trying to parse them. It is probably not a good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we shouldn't break them if there is a better way. So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for the unknown applications to catch up. Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time setting options than from us pushing it explicitely.
2015-08-10support lang= and target= sources.list optionsDavid Kalnischkies
We support arch= for a while, now we finally add lang= as well and as a first simple way of controlling which targets to acquire also target=. This asked for a redesign of the internal API of parsing and storing information about 'deb' and 'deb-src' lines. As this API isn't visible to the outside no damage done through. Beside being a nice cleanup (= it actually does more in less lines) it also provides us with a predictable order of architectures as provides in the configuration rather than based on string sorting-order, so that now the native architecture is parsed/displayed first. Observeable e.g. in apt-get output.
2014-08-26ensure that all docs use all entities filesDavid Kalnischkies
Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across the bord makes working with all of them a little easier. Git-Dch: Ignore

2013-11-30add a vendor specific file to have configurable entitiesDavid Kalnischkies
manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.
2013-07-11implement arch+= and arch-= for sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
Default is to acquire all architectures from APT::Architectures which can be changed by arch=, but this isn't very flexible if you want "mostly" the default as you have to hardcode the architectures then, so arch-= and arch+= can be used to add/remove architectures from the default set. On a machine with 'amd64' and 'i386' configured the lines: deb [arch+=armel] http://example.org/debian wheezy rocks deb [arch-=amd64] http://example.org/debian jessie rocks will result in the download of: wheezy Packages for 'amd64', 'i386' and 'armel' jessie Packages for 'i386'
