DefaultAptSources

Revision 3 as of 2005-11-05 22:07:58

Clear message

Summary

Improve the handling for apt when it comes to network sources.

Rationale

As of Ubuntu 5.10, the default sources.list is dynamically generated based on (among other information) whether a network connection was available during the installation of the system. In order to be more consistent in the face of changing hardware (and changing support for hardware), it would be preferable if the network sources were always available, regardless of network availability during installation.
