Dear Maintainer,

the website says I can add snapshots to apt by adding things to sources.list.
However, that file does no even exist any more on my system, it has been
"modernized" to the new style. I am currently struggling figuring out how to do
the same for a snapshot... it would be nice if the website could be updated to
match recent versions of apt.

Kind regards,
Ralf

Hi,
formats within one file you can use the old-style one just fine. And you
can just recreate sources.list and it will work.

I'm open to proposed new phrasings that don't make it too confusing with
multiple different formats for different releases. Maybe it'd need a
dropdown to select the release. :/

Kind regards
Philipp Kern

Hi Philipp,

I didn't realize the old format is still supported -- I will try that, thanks!

Kind regards,
Ralf
