Description Dirk Ahrnke

2023-01-04 11:41:22 CET

When using a protected repository it is common atm to put username:password into a deb repo definition into a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*list.
The line are generated by UCRVs documented in https://docs.software-univention.de/developer-reference/5.0/en/repositories.html#integrate-with-ucsucr

This attempt now generates a warning during "apt update":

N: Die Verwendung von apt_auth.conf(5) sollte gegenüber der Methode bevorzugt werden, Login-Informationen direkt in den sources.list(5)-Abschnitt für »https://service.software-univention.de/
univention-repository/apt/99999/5.0/maintained/component« einzutragen.

this affects our own customer repositories as well as protected repos used by partners like OX or Kopano.
