+ <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 seperate files that end with
- <literal>.list</literal>. The format is the same as for the regular
- <filename>sources.list</filename> file. </para>
+ <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 spaces, 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.

+ <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

+ doesn't announce the availability of PDiffs. Defaults to the
+ value of the option with the same name for a specific index file

+ 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

+ 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
