Re: apt-get source symlinks if repository is local ('file:/)?

Hello,

Of course I figure this out _after_ I mail this list. I figured I would 
post what I figured out for the archives and to save others the bother 
of answering.

My answer was found in `man sources.list` (an obvious place to look 
_before_ spamming the list...). Here are the important parts of the manpage:

-----------------
URI SPECIFICATION
       The currently recognized URI types are:

       file
           The file scheme allows an arbitrary directory in the file 
system to be considered an archive. This is useful for NFS mounts and 
local mirrors or archives.

[cut out stuff...]

       copy
           The copy scheme is identical to the file scheme except that 
packages are copied into the cache directory instead of used directly at 
their location. This is useful for people using removable media to copy 
files around with APT.

-----------------

So the two lines I need for what I want are actually the following:

	deb copy:/repos/apt/ubuntu trusty main
	deb-src copy:/repos/apt/ubuntu trusty main

Cheers,
Thomas
