2 /* This file is an index of all APT configuration directives. It should
3 NOT actually be used as a real config file, though it is a completely
4 valid file. Most of the options have sane default values, unless
5 you have specific needs you should NOT include arbitary items in a custom
8 In some instances involving filenames it is possible to set the default
9 directory when the path is evaluated. This means you can use relative
10 paths within the sub scope.
12 The configuration directives are specified in a tree with {} designating
13 a subscope relative to the tag before the {}. You can further specify
14 a subscope using scope notation eg,
15 APT::Architecture "i386";
16 This is prefixed with the current scope. Scope notation must be used
17 if an option is specified on the command line with -o.
