From 39c724b4848ef8d85c8c425f982dda85f0df1277 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Sun, 8 May 2016 18:03:48 +0200 Subject: implement Identifier field for IndexTargets MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A frontend like apt-file is only interested in a specific set of files and selects those easily via "Created-By". If it supports two locations for those files through it would need to select both and a user would need to know that implementation detail for sources.list configuration. The "Identifier" field is hence introduced which by default has the same value as "Created-By", but can be freely configured – especially it can be used to give two indexes the same identifier. --- doc/sources.list.5.xml | 13 +++++++------ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/sources.list.5.xml') diff --git a/doc/sources.list.5.xml b/doc/sources.list.5.xml index e8d88921d..f327e365b 100644 --- a/doc/sources.list.5.xml +++ b/doc/sources.list.5.xml @@ -222,10 +222,12 @@ deb-src [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1] [component2] [.
