For example in my ~/.sbuildrc I have: "%r" => [ '--setup-hook=echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian %r main" > "$1"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/%r.list' ] That way, building for bookworm-backports or experimental will add the mirror line for bookworm-backports or experimental to apt. But that being said: I'm not quite happy with this interface yet. I was pondering with extending the extra arguments to allow regex replacements similar to what is allowed in $unshare_mmdebstrap_distro_mangle and then somebody could do: '(.*)-backports' => [ '.... deb http://deb.debian.org/debian $1 main' ... ] The problem with that is, that this would mean that $1 in the value would have a special meaning which would be surprising if you do not mean to have $1 treated as a replacement reference... Of course there is always the option to hard-code codenames but I do not like the idea to carry a long list of codenames in the config. Being able to match on prefixes like '-backports' would be much better. What do you think? Thanks! cheers, josch
