I was searching for a way to manage my repositories in an advanced way and I found y-ppa-manager GUI application. it is a great application, that's for sure. But is there a way to manage them via *terminal?
Like backup current repos to some kind of file, restoring them from a file. Other words is there a smiler application to y-ppa-manager on terminal?
You can add a repository by add-apt-repostory command, e.g.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
You can remove a repository by add-apt-repostory -r, e.g.
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
You can also purge all packages installed from a repository by ppa-purge. You will need to install it first
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
Then use it this way
sudo ppa-purge ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
The command will purge all the packages and revert them to the previous ones from the standard repos, if anything has been upgraded from the PPA.
To backup repository lists you can backup the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. The lists are stored there.
