Bug#1122988: snapshot.debian.org: Please show apt configuration for "modern" style



Hi Philipp,

I didn't realize the old format is still supported -- I will try that, thanks!

Kind regards,
Ralf

the website says I can add snapshots to apt by adding things to sources.list.
However, that file does no even exist any more on my system, it has been
"modernized" to the new style. I am currently struggling figuring out how to do
the same for a snapshot... it would be nice if the website could be updated to
match recent versions of apt.

Thanks for the report. I think it still works: As long as you don't mix formats within one file you can use the old-style one just fine. And you can just recreate sources.list and it will work.

I'm open to proposed new phrasings that don't make it too confusing with multiple different formats for different releases. Maybe it'd need a dropdown to select the release. :/

Kind regards
