WIP: refactoring of https://wiki.debian.org/AptConf and other apt configuration pages

Apt is configured by several resources, including:

apt.conf.d

Apt accepts configuratino files (without extension) in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. These are processed by Apt in numeric/alphabetical order. /etc/apt/apt.conf is also valid but deprecated.

These files can contain various directives:

  • Dpkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"mycommand";};: executes mycommand before package installation/unpacking by Dpkg.

  • Dpkg::Pre-Invoke {"mycommand";};: executes mycommand before apt calls dpkg

  • Dpkg::Post-Invoke {"mycommand";};: executes mycommand after apt calls dpkg

  • Pre-Install-Pkgs: ???

  • APT::Default-Release "testing";: sets the default Debian release used by Apt (TODO use case?)

  •  Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy:8080";: sets the proxy for HTTP downloads

  •  Acquire::https::Proxy "https://proxy:8443";: sets the proxy for HTTPS downloads
