sources.list

[Hans Ginzel <hans@matfyz.cz>]

	Hello,

   thank you for maintaining the package apt.

   There is, in the /doc/examples/sources.list, resp. /etc/sources.list

	# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
	# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
	# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.


The ``R'' in remember should probably be small letter.?

    Use tabs characters in that file, so the distro and flavors are
under each other:

deb	http://http.us.debian.org/debian	stable		main	contrib	non-free
deb	http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US	stable/non-US	main	contrib	non-free
deb	http://security.debian.org		stable/updates	main	contrib	non-free

instaed of the plain format.

   Add an empty line bettween initial comment and deb lines.

   Add also other examples, than http:// only, eg. ftp://, rsync:// (?),
file://.

   Change the order of ``contrib'', ``non-free'' to ``non-free contrib''
because contrib depends on non-free.

   Add the vi modeline, because file is wide:

	### vi: set nowrap:

   Best regards
