2016-08-29Switch documentation from httpredir.d.o to deb.d.oJulian Andres Klode
The CDN service deb.d.o is more reliable than the http redirector, so switch to it for our examples.
2016-01-14evaluate sourceslist-list-format entity in vendors sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
Parsing XML entity files in shell isn't exactly nice and causing the substitution with a while-read loop isn't either, but it seems to be good enough for the moment without changing too much. Thanks: Niels Thykier for reporting on IRC
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.
2014-03-13autogenerate makefile for vendor systemDavid Kalnischkies
It can be useful to have a whole makefile available for vendor setup, but by providing a basic one we can deal with the simple cases more easily (and changes to the system are presumably easier).
2013-11-30introduce a vendor system to change sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
Many derivatives make quiet a few simple changes to apt introducing silly diffs just to change examples and co making it harder for them to update apt and harder for us to merge real changes back. First stop: doc/examples/sources.list
