apt-sources-list

This Emacs package contains a major mode for editing APT’s .list files.

The /etc/apt/sources.list file and other files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d tell APT, found on Debian-based systems and others, where to find packages for installation.

This format specifies a package source with a single line, e.g.:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stable main contrib

For more information about the format you can read the manual pages apt(8) and sources.list(5).

This mode is derived from apt-sources-mode distributed in the debian-el Debian package, but has many differences. Among them:

• The load hook has been removed. Use with-eval-after-load.
• What is properly called a “suite” is no longer called a “distribution.”
• Most keys have changed. This is for better mnemonics (C-c C-s to change the suite), or for better Emacs integration (C-M-n or your forward-list equivalent to move between source lines).
• Editing functions may be called more easily from Emacs Lisp.
