** Description changed: - I want to do some SRU testing but I have to look up how to add the - -proposed lines to apt sources every time I want to do this task. The - wiki page for it is pretty verbose and includes text like: "Replace - "xenial" with "trusty", "vivid", "utopic", "precise", or "lucid" - depending on which release you are on. " - Adding -proposed should be as easy as running: sudo add-apt-repository proposed But this doesn't work: $ sudo add-apt-repository proposed Error: 'proposed' invalid - The help text includes a bunch of examples of things that users almost - never need to do any more: + It'd be nice if add-apt-repository could work for all of: - $ add-apt-repository -h - [...] - Examples: - apt-add-repository 'deb http://myserver/path/to/repo stable myrepo' - apt-add-repository 'http://myserver/path/to/repo myrepo' - apt-add-repository 'https://packages.medibuntu.org free non-free' - apt-add-repository http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu - apt-add-repository ppa:user/repository - apt-add-repository ppa:user/distro/repository - apt-add-repository multiverse + - adding main + - adding restricted + - adding universe + - adding multiverse + - adding partners - - https://packages.medibuntu.org is now owned by a commerce site, or squatter, or something similar. It also fails certificate validation. This should be removed. - - http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ has precise through utopic. Maybe - we shouldn't remove this yet, but someday we may want to revisit this - one. - - It'd be great to have examples of adding proposed, universe, security, - updates, etc. - - Maybe it'd be nice to put a reference to whatever tool would also enable - ESM. + - adding proposed + - adding security + - adding universe Thanks - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 - Package: software-properties-common 0.96.24.32.7 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-50.54-generic 4.15.18 - Uname: Linux 4.15.0-50-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair - ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.6 - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Fri May 17 18:32:49 2019 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-18 (2402 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120823.1) - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: software-properties - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-05-02 (381 days ago)
