From 24e8f24e1e94ec3816b0bfc7a05d1c4e3f73248e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 13:18:29 +0200 Subject: add by-hash sources.list option and document all of by-hash This changes the semantics of the option (which is renamed too) to be a yes/no value with the special additional value "force" as this allows by-hash to be disabled even if the repository indicates it would be supported and is more in line with our other yes/no options like pdiff which disable themselves if no support can be detected. The feature wasn't documented so far and hasn't reached a (un)stable release yet, so changing it without trying too hard to keep compatibility seems okay. --- doc/apt.conf.5.xml | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc/apt.conf.5.xml') diff --git a/doc/apt.conf.5.xml b/doc/apt.conf.5.xml index 62dffadc4..bb0c37ff8 100644 --- a/doc/apt.conf.5.xml +++ b/doc/apt.conf.5.xml @@ -347,6 +347,16 @@ DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt";}; + + Try to download indexes via an URI constructed from a + hashsum of the expected file rather than downloaded via a well-known + stable filename.
