<refnamediv>
<refname>sources.list</refname>
<refpurpose>List of configured APT data sources</refpurpose>
</refnamediv>
<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>
The source list <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename> and the
files contained in <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/</filename> are
designed to support any number of active sources and a variety of source
media. The files list one source per line (one-line style) or contain multiline
stanzas defining one or more sources per stanza (deb822 style), with the
most preferred source listed first (in case a single version is
available from more than one source). The information available from the
configured sources is acquired by <command>apt-get update</command> (or
by an equivalent command from another APT front-end).
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1><title>sources.list.d</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list.d</filename> directory provides
a way to add sources.list entries in separate files.
Two different file formats are allowed as described in the next two sections.
Filenames need to have either the extension <filename>.list</filename> or
<filename>.sources</filename> depending on the contained format.
The filenames may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z),
digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.) characters.
Otherwise APT will print a notice that it has ignored a file, unless that
file matches a pattern in the <literal>Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently</literal>
configuration list - in which case it will be silently ignored.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1><title>One-Line-Style Format</title>
<para>
Files in this format have the extension <filename>.list</filename>.
Each line specifying a source starts with a type (e.g. <literal>deb-src</literal>)
followed by options and arguments for this type.
Individual entries cannot be continued onto a following line. Empty lines
are ignored, and a <literal>#</literal> character anywhere on a line marks
the remainder of that line as a comment. Consequently an entry can be
disabled by commenting out the entire line.
If options should be provided they are separated by spaces and all of
them together are enclosed by square brackets (<literal>[]</literal>)
included in the line after the type separated from it with a space.
If an option allows multiple values these are separated from each other
with a comma (<literal>,</literal>). An option name is separated from its
value(s) by an equals sign (<literal>=</literal>). Multivalue options also
have <literal>-=</literal> and <literal>+=</literal> as separators, which
instead of replacing the default with the given value(s) modify the default
value(s) to remove or include the given values.
</para><para>
This is the traditional format and supported by all apt versions.
Note that not all options as described below are supported by all apt versions.
Note also that some older applications parsing this format on their own might not
expect to encounter options as they were uncommon before the introduction of
multi-architecture support.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1><title>deb822-Style Format</title>
<para>
Files in this format have the extension <filename>.sources</filename>.
The format is similar in syntax to other files used by Debian and its
derivatives, such as the metadata files that apt will download from the configured
sources or the <filename>debian/control</filename> file in a Debian source package.
Individual entries are separated by an empty line; additional empty
lines are ignored, and a <literal>#</literal> character at the start of
the line marks the entire line as a comment. An entry can hence be
disabled by commenting out each line belonging to the stanza, but it is
usually easier to add the field "Enabled: no" to the stanza to disable
the entry. Removing the field or setting it to yes reenables it.
Options have the same syntax as every other field: A fieldname separated by
a colon (<literal>:</literal>) and optionally spaces from its value(s).
Note especially that multiple values are separated by whitespaces (like spaces,
tabs and newlines), not by commas as in the one-line format.
Multivalue fields like <literal>Architectures</literal> also have
<literal>Architectures-Add</literal> and <literal>Architectures-Remove</literal>
to modify the default value rather than replacing it.
</para><para>
This is a new format supported by apt itself since version 1.1. Previous
versions ignore such files with a notice message as described earlier.
It is intended to make this format gradually the default format,
deprecating the previously described one-line-style format, as it is
easier to create, extend and modify for humans and machines alike
especially if a lot of sources and/or options are involved.
Developers who are working with and/or parsing apt sources are highly
encouraged to add support for this format and to contact the APT team
to coordinate and share this work. Users can freely adopt this format
already, but may encounter problems with software not supporting
the format yet.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1><title>The deb and deb-src Types: General Format</title>
<para>The <literal>deb</literal> type references a typical two-level Debian
archive, <filename>distribution/component</filename>. The
<literal>distribution</literal> is generally a suite name like
<literal>stable</literal> or <literal>testing</literal> or a codename like
<literal>&debian-stable-codename;</literal> or <literal>&debian-testing-codename;</literal>
while component is one of <literal>main</literal>, <literal>contrib</literal> or
<literal>non-free</literal>. The
<literal>deb-src</literal> type references a Debian distribution's source
code in the same form as the <literal>deb</literal> type.
A <literal>deb-src</literal> line is required to fetch source indexes.</para>
<para>The format for two one-line-style entries using the
<literal>deb</literal> and <literal>deb-src</literal> types is:</para>
<literallayout>deb [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1] [component2] [...]
deb-src [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1] [component2] [...]</literallayout>
<para>Alternatively the equivalent entry in deb822 style looks like this:
<literallayout>
Types: deb deb-src
URIs: uri
Suites: suite
Components: [component1] [component2] [...]
option1: value1
option2: value2
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>The URI for the <literal>deb</literal> type must specify the base of the
Debian distribution, from which APT will find the information it needs.
<literal>suite</literal> can specify an exact path, in which case the
components must be omitted and <literal>suite</literal> must end with
a slash (<literal>/</literal>). This is useful for the case when only a
particular sub-directory of the archive denoted by the URI is of interest.
If <literal>suite</literal> does not specify an exact path, at least
one <literal>component</literal> must be present.</para>
<para><literal>suite</literal> may also contain a variable,
<literal>$(ARCH)</literal>
which expands to the Debian architecture (such as <literal>amd64</literal> or
<literal>armel</literal>) used on the system. This permits architecture-independent
<filename>sources.list</filename> files to be used. In general this is only
of interest when specifying an exact path; <literal>APT</literal> will
automatically generate a URI with the current architecture otherwise.</para>
<para>Especially in the one-line-style format since only one distribution
can be specified per line it may be necessary to have multiple lines for
the same URI, if a subset of all available distributions or components at
that location is desired. APT will sort the URI list after it has
generated a complete set internally, and will collapse multiple
references to the same Internet host, for instance, into a single
connection, so that it does not inefficiently establish a
connection, close it, do something else, and then re-establish a
connection to that same host. APT also parallelizes connections to
different hosts to more effectively deal with sites with low
bandwidth.</para>
<para>It is important to list sources in order of preference, with the most
preferred source listed first. Typically this will result in sorting
by speed from fastest to slowest (CD-ROM followed by hosts on a local
network, followed by distant Internet hosts, for example).</para>
<para>As an example, the sources for your distribution could look like this
in one-line-style format:
<literallayout>&sourceslist-list-format;</literallayout> or like this in
deb822 style format:
<literallayout>&sourceslist-sources-format;</literallayout></para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1><title>The deb and deb-src types: Options</title>
<para>Each source entry can have options specified to modify which source
is accessed and how data is acquired from it. Format, syntax and names
of the options vary between the one-line-style and deb822-style formats
as described, but they both have the same options available. For simplicity
we list the deb822 fieldname and provide the one-line name in brackets.
Remember that besides setting multivalue options explicitly, there is also
the option to modify them based on the default, but we aren't listing those
names explicitly here. Unsupported options are silently ignored by all
APT versions.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><option>Architectures</option>
(<option>arch</option>) is a multivalue option defining for
which architectures information should be downloaded. If this
option isn't set the default is all architectures as defined by
the <option>APT::Architectures</option> config option.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Languages</option>
(<option>lang</option>) is a multivalue option defining for
which languages information such as translated package
descriptions should be downloaded. If this option isn't set
the default is all languages as defined by the
<option>Acquire::Languages</option> config option.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Targets</option>
(<option>target</option>) is a multivalue option defining
which download targets apt will try to acquire from this
source. If not specified, the default set is defined by the
<option>Acquire::IndexTargets</option> configuration scope
(targets are specified by their name in the
<literal>Created-By</literal> field).
Additionally, targets can be enabled or disabled by using the
<literal>Identifier</literal> field as an option with a boolean
value instead of using this multivalue option.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>PDiffs</option> (<option>pdiffs</option>)
is a yes/no value which controls if APT should try to use PDiffs
to update old indexes instead of downloading the new indexes
entirely. The value of this option is ignored if the repository
doesn't announce the availability of PDiffs. Defaults to the
value of the option with the same name for a specific index file
defined in the <option>Acquire::IndexTargets</option> scope,
which itself defaults to the value of configuration option
<option>Acquire::PDiffs</option> which defaults to
<literal>yes</literal>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>By-Hash</option> (<option>by-hash</option>)
can have the value <literal>yes</literal>, <literal>no</literal>
or <literal>force</literal> and controls if APT should try to
acquire indexes via a URI constructed from a hashsum of the
expected file instead of using the well-known stable filename
of the index. Using this can avoid hashsum mismatches, but
requires a supporting mirror. A <literal>yes</literal> or
<literal>no</literal> value activates/disables the use of this
feature if this source indicates support for it, while
<literal>force</literal> will enable the feature regardless of
what the source indicates. Defaults to the value of the option
of the same name for a specific index file defined in the
<option>Acquire::IndexTargets</option> scope, which itself
defaults to the value of configuration option
<option>Acquire::By-Hash</option> which defaults to
<literal>yes</literal>.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Furthermore, there are options which if set affect
<emphasis>all</emphasis> sources with the same URI and Suite, so they
have to be set on all such entries and can not be varied between
different components. APT will try to detect and error out on such
anomalies.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><option>Allow-Insecure</option> (<option>allow-insecure</option>),
<option>Allow-Weak</option> (<option>allow-weak</option>) and
<option>Allow-Downgrade-To-Insecure</option> (<option>allow-downgrade-to-insecure</option>)
are boolean values which all default to <literal>no</literal>.
If set to <literal>yes</literal> they circumvent parts of &apt-secure;
and should therefore not be used lightly!
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Trusted</option> (<option>trusted</option>)
is a tri-state value which defaults to APT deciding if a source
is considered trusted or if warnings should be raised before e.g.
packages are installed from this source. This option can be used
to override that decision. The value <literal>yes</literal> tells APT
always to consider this source as trusted, even if it doesn't pass
authentication checks. It disables parts of &apt-secure;, and should
therefore only be used in a local and trusted context (if at all) as
otherwise security is breached. The value <literal>no</literal> does
the opposite, causing the source to be handled as untrusted even if
the authentication checks passed successfully. The default value can't
be set explicitly.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Signed-By</option> (<option>signed-by</option>)
is either an absolute path to a keyring file (has to be
accessible and readable for the <literal>_apt</literal> user,
so ensure everyone has read-permissions on the file) or one or
more fingerprints of keys either in the
<filename>trusted.gpg</filename> keyring or in the
keyrings in the <filename>trusted.gpg.d/</filename> directory
(see <command>apt-key fingerprint</command>). If the option is
set, only the key(s) in this keyring or only the keys with these
fingerprints are used for the &apt-secure; verification of this
repository. Defaults to the value of the option with the same name
if set in the previously acquired <filename>Release</filename> file.
Otherwise all keys in the trusted keyrings are considered valid
signers for this repository.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Check-Valid-Until</option> (<option>check-valid-until</option>)
is a yes/no value which controls if APT should try to detect
replay attacks. A repository creator can declare a time until
which the data provided in the repository should be considered valid,
and if this time is reached, but no new data is provided, the data
is considered expired and an error is raised. Besides
increasing security, as a malicious attacker can't send old data
forever to prevent a user from upgrading to a new version,
this also helps users identify mirrors which are no longer
updated. However, some repositories such as historic archives
are not updated any more by design, so this check can be
disabled by setting this option to <literal>no</literal>.
Defaults to the value of configuration option
<option>Acquire::Check-Valid-Until</option> which itself
defaults to <literal>yes</literal>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Valid-Until-Min</option>
(<option>valid-until-min</option>) and
<option>Valid-Until-Max</option>
(<option>valid-until-max</option>) can be used to raise or
lower the time period in seconds in which the data from this
repository is considered valid. -Max can be especially useful
if the repository provides no Valid-Until field on its Release
file to set your own value, while -Min can be used to increase
the valid time on seldom updated (local) mirrors of a more
frequently updated but less accessible archive (which is in the
sources.list as well) instead of disabling the check entirely.
Default to the value of the configuration options
<option>Acquire::Min-ValidTime</option> and
<option>Acquire::Max-ValidTime</option> which are both unset by
default.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Check-Date</option> (<option>check-date</option>)
is a yes/no value which controls if APT should consider
the machine's time correct and hence perform time related
checks, such as verifying that a Release file is not
from the future. Disabling it also disables the
<option>Check-Valid-Until</option> option
mentioned above.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>Date-Max-Future</option>
(<option>date-max-future</option>) controls how far
from the future a repository may be.
Default to the value of the configuration option
<option>Acquire::Max-FutureTime</option> which is
10 seconds by default.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><option>InRelease-Path</option> (<option>inrelease-path</option>)
determines the path to the InRelease file, relative
to the normal position of an <filename>InRelease</filename> file.
By default, this option is unset and APT will try to fetch an <filename>InRelease</filename>
or, if that fails, a <filename>Release</filename> file and its associated <filename>Release.gpg</filename> file. By setting this option,
the specified path will be tried instead of the InRelease file,
and the fallback to <filename>Release</filename> files will be disabled.

<refsect1><title>URI Specification</title>
<para>The currently recognized URI types are:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term><command>http</command> (&apt-transport-http;)</term>
<listitem><para>
The http scheme specifies an HTTP server for an archive and is the most
commonly used method. The URI can directly include login information if the
archive requires it, but the use of &apt-authconf; should be preferred.
The method also supports SOCKS5 and HTTP(S) proxies either configured via
apt-specific configuration or specified by the environment variable
<envar>http_proxy</envar> in the format (assuming an HTTP proxy requiring
authentication) <replaceable>http://user:pass@server:port/</replaceable>.
The authentication details for proxies can also be supplied via
&apt-authconf;.</para>
<para>Note that these forms of authentication are insecure as the whole
communication with the remote server (or proxy) is not encrypted so a
sufficiently capable attacker can observe and record login as well as all
other interactions. The attacker can <emphasis>not</emphasis> modify the
communication through as APTs data security model is independent of the
chosen transport method. See &apt-secure; for details.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><command>https</command> (&apt-transport-https;)</term>
<listitem><para>
The https scheme specifies an HTTPS server for an archive and is very
similar in use and available options to the http scheme. The main
difference is that the communication between apt and server (or proxy) is
encrypted. Note that the encryption does not prevent an attacker from
knowing which server (or proxy) apt is communicating with and deeper
analyses can potentially still reveal which data was downloaded. If this is
a concern the Tor-based schemes mentioned further below might be a suitable
alternative.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><command>mirror</command>, <command>mirror+<replaceable>scheme</replaceable></command> (&apt-transport-mirror;)</term>
<listitem><para>
The mirror scheme specifies the location of a mirrorlist. By default the
scheme used for the location is <literal>http</literal>, but any other
scheme can be used via <command>mirror+<replaceable>scheme</replaceable></command>.
The mirrorlist itself can contain many different URIs for mirrors the APT client
can transparently pick, choose and fallback between intended to help both
with distributing the load over the available mirrors and ensuring that
clients can acquire data even if some configured mirrors are not available.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><command>file</command></term>
<listitem><para>
The file scheme allows an arbitrary directory in the file system to be
considered an archive. This is useful for NFS mounts and local mirrors or
archives.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><command>cdrom</command></term>
<listitem><para>
The cdrom scheme allows APT to use a local CD-ROM, DVD or USB drive with media
swapping. Use the &apt-cdrom; program to create cdrom entries in the
source list.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><command>ftp</command></term>
<listitem><para>
The ftp scheme specifies an FTP server for an archive. Use of FTP is on the
decline in favour of <literal>http</literal> and <literal>https</literal>
and many archives either never offered or are retiring FTP access. If you
still need this method many configuration options for it are available in
the <literal>Acquire::ftp</literal> scope and detailed in &apt-conf;.</para>
<para>Please note that an FTP proxy can be specified
by using the <envar>ftp_proxy</envar> environment variable. It is possible
to specify an HTTP proxy (HTTP proxy servers often understand FTP URLs)
using this environment variable and <emphasis>only</emphasis> this
environment variable. Proxies using HTTP specified in
the configuration file will be ignored.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><command>copy</command></term>
<listitem><para>
The copy scheme is identical to the file scheme except that packages are
copied into the cache directory instead of used directly at their location.
This is useful for people using removable media to copy files around with APT.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><command>rsh</command></term><term><command>ssh</command></term>
<listitem><para>
The rsh/ssh method invokes RSH/SSH to connect to a remote host and
access the files as a given user. Prior configuration of rhosts or RSA keys
is recommended. The standard <command>find</command> and <command>dd</command>
commands are used to perform the file transfers from the remote host.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>adding more recognizable URI types</term>
<listitem><para>
APT can be extended with more methods shipped in other optional packages, which should
follow the naming scheme <package>apt-transport-<replaceable>method</replaceable></package>.
For instance, the APT team also maintains the package <package>apt-transport-tor</package>,
which provides access methods for HTTP and HTTPS URIs routed via the Tor network.
