[Bug 74747] Re: Default sources.list file has source packages enabled by default

 

This bug was fixed in the package apt-setup - 1:0.104ubuntu3

---------------
apt-setup (1:0.104ubuntu3) xenial; urgency=high

  * Fix apt-setup/enable-source-repositories in security & overlay
    generators.
  * Set apt-setup/enable-source-repositories default to false. LP: #74747
  * For freedom, set apt-setup/enable-source-repositoreis=true. I'm open
    to be overruled by a technical board decision.

Title:
  Default sources.list file has source packages enabled by default

Status in apt-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt-setup source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The default sources.list file has source packages enabled by default,
  this is bad for the average user (especially those on modems) because
  they are very unlikely to use source packages, however they will still
  have the download overhead of the packages list.

  For most people the deb-src lines could simply be commented out by
  default.

  (Bug reported at the behest of Robert Collins)

  Implementing this would probably invalidate bug 301602. See also bug
