The format of each line is:
The first item, type, indicates the format for the remainder
of the line. It is designed to indicate the structure of the distribution
-the line is talking about. Currently the only defined value is deb
-which indicates a standard debian archive with a dists dir.
-
-
- The deb type is to be a typical two level debian distributions,
- dist/distribution/component. Typically distribution
- is one of stable, unstable or testing while component is one of main,
- contrib, non-free or non-us. The format for the deb line is as follows:
-
-
- deb uri distribution component
- [component ...]
-
-
- uri for the deb type must specify the base of the
- debian distribution. APT will automatically generate the proper longer
- URIs to get the information it needs. distribution can specify
- an exact path, in this case the components must be omitted and
- distribution must end in a slash.
-
-
- Since only one distribution can be specified per deb line it may be
- necessary to list a number of deb lines for the same URI. APT will
- sort the URI list after it has generated a complete set to allow
- connection reuse. It is important to order things in the sourcelist
- from most preferred to least preferred (fastest to slowest).
-
-URIs in the source list support a large number of access schemes which
-are listed in the sources.list manpage and can be further extended by
-transport binaries placed in /usr/lib/apt/methods. The most important
-builtin schemes are:
