It's a graphical editor for sources.list files, so it is obviously OK to edit sources.list files. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.

Package: python-software-properties Version: 0.80.9 Severity: wishlist Every time I use add-apt-repository, I get a bunch of .save files under /etc/apt/ and I’ve never found them be anything but identical with the original files. It would be good if add-apt-repository only wrote .save files that are not identical to the originals. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers natty-updates APT policy: (500, 'natty-updates'), (500, 'natty-security'), (500, 'natty') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-0-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python-software-properties depends on: ii iso-codes 3.24-1 ISO language, territory, currency, ii lsb-release 4.0-0ubuntu11 Linux Standard Base version report ii python2.7.1-0ubuntu5 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-apt0.7.100.3ubuntu6.1 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii python-central0.6.15ubuntu5 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-gnupginterface 0.3.2-9.1ubuntu1 Python interface to GnuPG (GPG) ii unattended-upgrades 0.72.1ubuntu1 automatic installation of security python-software-properties recommends no packages. python-software-properties suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
