ubuntu-tweak does not add any ppa to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ by default. this only happens when user ask it do. the add-apt-repository command in python-software-properties package also can add ppa to sources.list, so I don't think ubuntu will reject software like this. -- Best Regards LI Daobing -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
