Adding Sources
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ``add`` subcommand is used to add new repositories to the software sources.
|
||
|
|
You can specify a deb-line to configure into the system or a ``ppa:`` shortcut
|
||
|
|
to add the new source directly::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-manage add deb http://apt.pop-os.org/ubuntu disco main
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-manage add ppa:system76/pop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If an internet connection is available, ``apt-manage`` will additionally attempt
|
||
|
|
to install the signing key for any ``ppa:`` shortcuts added.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options for adding sources
|
||
|
|
==========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Various options control adding sources to the system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Source Code, Details, Disabling Sources
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable source code for the added repository, use the ``--source-code`` flag::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ apt-manage add --source-code ppa:system76/pop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new source can be disabled upon adding it using the ``--disable`` flag::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ apt-manage add --disable ppa:system76/pop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Details for the PPA are printed for review prior to adding the source by default.
|
||
|
|
This will print the generated configuration for the source as well as any
|
||
|
|
available details fetched for the source (typically only available for PPA
|
||
|
|
sources). To suppress this output, include ``--terse``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Source File Format
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The format which RepoLib saves the repository on disk in depends on the type of
|
||
|
|
repository being added, but regardless the ``--format`` flag can be used to
|
||
|
|
force either legacy ``.list`` format or modern ``.sources`` format::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
apt-manage add popdev:master --format=list
|
||
|
|
apt-manage add ppa:system76/pop --format=sources
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Names and Identifiers
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Names for PPA sources are automatically detected from Launchpad if an internet
|
||
|
|
connection is available. Otherwise they are automatically generated based on the
|
||
|
|
source type and details. Optionally, a name can be specified when the source is
|
||
|
|
added::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ apt-manage add ppa:system76/pop --name "PPA for Pop_OS Software"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
System-identifiers determine how the source is subsequently located within RepoLib and
|
||
|
|
on the system. It matches the filename for the source's configuration file. It
|
||
|
|
is automatically generated based on the source type, or can be specified
|
||
|
|
manually upon creation using the ``--identifier`` flag::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ apt-manage add ppa:system76/pop --identifier pop-ppa
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. note::
|
||
|
|
Even though ``apt-manage`` allows modifcation or management of DEB822-format
|
||
|
|
sources, it does not currently support adding them to the system directly.
|
||
|
|
DEB822 sources can be manually added or added using third-party tools, and
|
||
|
|
``apt-manage`` will correctly operate on them subsequently.
