/* This file is an index of all APT configuration directives. It should NOT actually be used as a real config file, though it is (except for the last line) a completely valid file. Most of the options have sane default values, unless you have specific needs you should NOT include arbitrary items in a custom configuration. In some instances involving filenames it is possible to set the default directory when the path is evaluated. This means you can use relative paths within the sub scope. The configuration directives are specified in a tree with {} designating a subscope relative to the tag before the {}. You can further specify a subscope using scope notation eg, APT::Architecture "i386"; This is prefixed with the current scope. Scope notation must be used if an option is specified on the command line with -o. */ quiet "0"; // Options for APT in general APT { Architecture "i386"; Build-Essential "build-essential"; NeverAutoRemove { "linux-image.*"; }; // packages that should never // considered for autoRemove // Options for apt-get Get { Arch-Only "false"; AllowUnauthenticated "false"; AutomaticRemove "false"; HideAutoRemove "false"; Download-Only "false"; Simulate "false"; Assume-Yes "false"; Force-Yes "false"; // I would never set this.
