Adding support for compressed and empty packages lists

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Hi, thanks for the code. This could also have been three commits though: 1) whitespace clean-up, 2) adding support for compressed package lists, 3) add support for empty package lists.

Anyway, does it really work? $LIST is always an existing file (as long as the * in PPA_LIST successfully expands, otherwise it is useless, that was what the original -e checked for), so 1) the elif's can not be reached and 2) $LIST.gz can not exist at the same time as $LIST, right? I don't have any compressed lists on my machine so I can not verify this case :)

Basically, 1) the PPA_LIST does not match anything ending in .gz etc, and 2) if it would, $LIST.gz would not exist since the .gz would already be included in $LIST.

I can suggest instead adding * to the end of the PPA_LIST so that any filename suffix gets expanded, then use lesspipe to decompress $LIST whatever its file type is (kind of a hack).

Hi, thanks for prompt review.

Sorry for combining all changes together, wasn't sure they deserve separate
commits.
After reading your points I realized that the shouldn't work, but some how
it does!
I probably was still sleeping while committing :-)
I am going to review the code one more time later.

Just in case you willing to play with it, this is how you enable compressed
lists:
echo "
Acquire::GzipIndexes "true";
Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order:: "gz";
" >> /etc/apt/apt.conf

And for empty repository:
add-apt-repository unity/ppa
