Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: wishlist hello
I have a notebook and a wish for APT it would be nice to have an option such as --from 'regex' it may be used to select which lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to use; it would be very useful for notebooks: examples: apt-get --from cdrom install thisandthat I would use this option at home, where I have the Woody CDROMS but I don't have a good internet connection; whereas I would use apt-get --from 'ftp|http' install thisandthat from workplace. Similarly, I would use apt-get --from '.it' install thisandthat when I am in Italy, but I would use apt-get --from '.org' install thisandthat when I (seldom) travel to the USA. thanx a.m. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tonelli 2.4.20-1-k7 #1 Sat Mar 22 15:17:52 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-11.5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-11woody1 The GNU stdc++ library -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
