We allready removed many hardcoded strings and make use of lsb_release to detect the distro. Debian has got a quite old version of update- manager.
Furthermore we should use the components and the corresponding labels from python-apt. Currently the Ubuntu repo componets are hardcoded. I will talk to mdke, the docbook guru, about how to use variables in the documentation. Cheers, Sebastian -- please make distro-specific strings a build-time parameter https://launchpad.net/bugs/95168 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
