Channel Definition |
|
|
|
|
|
The .info files allow to specify a set of default channels that is available |
|
in the dialog "add channel". The .info file whose name corresponds to the |
|
LSB release name is used, e.g. 'Ubuntu.info' on a Ubuntu system. |
|
|
|
Furthermore all .info files are used to render the channels presented in the |
|
sources list more user friendly. |
|
|
|
Abstract paragraphs |
|
|
|
If the Suite name contains a {, the entire paragraph becomes a template |
|
that gets formatted with distro-info-data data. See the Ubuntu.info.in |
|
and Debian.info.in for examples. |
|
|
|
Note that in such a case, if these paragraphs use { in their values for |
|
non-template things, such as in regular expressions; they need to be |
|
escaped - { to {{ and } to }}. |
|
|
|
Abstract paragraphs can only be in the middle of the file, the head and the |
|
tail are copied unmodified. If abstract paragraphs are interleaved with |
|
concrete ones, the behavior is undefined. |
