Hi all,

I was wondering if there was any such thing as an opportunistic apt
source.

Does anything like the above exist?
I'd use symlinks, where sources.list points to either sources.list.home,
sources.list.work or sources.list.internet, and a short script to flip
between them.

In addition to Ron's flip script maybe use some heuristics to determine which
network you're connected to and write a small wrapper to apt-get/aptitude or a
script to /etc/network/if-up.d that flips the symlink to correct sources.list
automagically.


I thought about automating it, but didn't have any good ideas. This (if-up.d) is a good idea!
