DEB822 style /etc/apt/sources.list?
I'm trying to upgrade my apt configuration to use the newer DEB822-style format.
man sources.list says:
It is intended to make this format gradually the default format, deprecating the previously described one-line-style format, ...
I can add a .sources file into /etc/apt/source.list.d/, but how do I upgrade /etc/apt/source.list itself?
I've already tried the following:
Adding this line
APT::Sources::Use-Deb822 true;to /etc/apt/apt.conf (ref).Renaming sources.list to sources.sources, and replacing it's content w/ 822 style content,
Moving this sources.sources to /etc/apt/source.list.d/sources.sources (dito the 822.. )
Although this last thing works, sort of, I don't see how it's any good, because it can't make sure it gets read first.
apt v 1.4.9
OS: GNU/Linux Debian 9.6 (x86-64);
Cinnamon desktop: 3.2.7;
Linux Kernel: 4.9.0-8-amd64;
