So I just disconnected add-apt-repository from it entirely. Also I think you're really just using aptsources.sourceslist and aptsources.distro, you're not using anything from SoftwareProperties

How much of this is now in Groovy with the > above changes, and what can be merged into software-properties? Not sure, but I did notice a couple things I wished were in the API. First, a way to easily fuzzy search for a given entry, such as the one for the main component. I ended up just iterating through all the components and examining their props, but it feels a bit brittle. A sp.sourceslist.search() or similar would have given a cleaner solution. Second, I'm not sure whether it's expected that users should access the internals of entries (e.g. entry.dist, entry.file).

Going into this task I was anticipating needing to parse sources.list myself, so in examining add-apt-repository's code was pleased to discover SoftwareProperties and find that it did most of the work for me, and let me make very short scripts. :-) Bryce -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

Re: ubuntu-helpers: New script "enable-proposed"
Since it's related to this topic, the add-apt-repository in this ppa has support for adding/enabling deb-src and arbitrary pockets as well as private ppas and more: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-support-team/+archive/ubuntu/add-apt-repository I need to find some time to push the changes into the upstream repo. https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-support-team/software-properties/+git/software-properties/+ref/devel On Wed, Jul 22, 2020 at 8:38 AM Bryce Harrington wrote: > > I've also added an 'enable-proposed' script, similar to enable-debsrc, > which adds DIST-proposed entries (deb and deb-src) for components > currently enabled.

ubuntu-helpers: New script "enable-proposed"
I've also added an 'enable-proposed' script, similar to enable-debsrc, which adds DIST-proposed entries (deb and deb-src) for components currently enabled. IOW, if you don't have universe/restricted/multiverse components enabled for anything, it won't add them for -proposed, but if you do, it will. The script also strives to use the same archive URI you are using for the main component, so if you're using a mirror it will also pull -proposed from that mirror too. https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/ubuntu-helpers/tree/bryce/enable-proposed Bryce On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 04:20:58PM -0700, Bryce Harrington wrote: > I've added a simple little script to enable deb-src lines in > sources.list to ubuntu-helpers: > > > https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/ubuntu-helpers/tree/bryce/enable-debsrc > > This script modifies your /etc/apt/sources.list and > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* files, and for each enabled deb line, it > uncomments the corresponding deb-src line. > > In case anyone else finds it useful, there it is. > > Bryce -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
