Re: How to compose a line in sources.list

[John Schmidt <jas@netbrick.com>]

Here is what mine looks like:

deb http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/kde/stable/3.0.4/Debian/woody ./
deb-src http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/kde/stable/3.0.4/Debian/woody 
./

Note the lack of / after woody and the addition of ./

I assume you could do this for yours:

deb 
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/desktops/kde/stable/3.0.4/Debian/sid ./
