[Bug 182884] Re: cdrom entry should go at end of sources.list

[Matt Zimmerman]

I imagine this depends on the user's circumstances, but since I am
almost always online, I prefer to download the packages (which is
immediate, as most of them are relatively small) rather than find the
installation media (which is slow, as it's probably buried, forgotten or
overwritten).

Anyway this is an old bug about an extreme edge case where the
installation media gets explicitly re-enabled, so I don't think it's
important

Title:
  cdrom entry should go at end of sources.list

Status in “apt-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “apt-setup” source package in Hardy:
  Won't Fix
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Hardy:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If a package is available from more than one source in sources.list,
  the first source in the file is preferred. Nowadays we would prefer to
  acquire from a network source if it's available. Thus, the cdrom entry
  needs to go at the end.

  This is the opposite of what we want during installation, where
  installs will be very slow if they all have to come from the network;
  so we'll need to shuffle the entries around towards the end of the
  installation.
