It is probably not a good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we shouldn't break them if there is a better way. So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for the unknown applications to catch up. Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time setting options than from us pushing it explicitely. 2014-04-26T11:46:23Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2014-04-26T11:31:41Z urn:sha1:c1b3d18934ce35f6a82b05207f53bf9b0cbfb961 Vendors like ubuntu need to change some options, so giving them a way to do this less painfully avoids reducing differences. 2014-04-26T07:51:05Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2014-04-22T16:59:22Z urn:sha1:feb81787827d973366ae20edcbce4bf5fccdebfd
