apt-repo-1.2.0-alt1

apt-repo is convenient because it knows many common kinds of the sources of packages for ALT (and an ALT developer).

It'd be good to bring this convenience to editing non-standard sources.list(.d) (not the system ones in /etc/apt/). For example, this can be used to edit the  user's configuration for hasher, which uses APT.

Now, for me a workaround is to use the default hasher's configuration (which looks into the system /etc/apt/), but whenver I need to switch the sources I do su and apt-repo. (This interferes with the system configuration and requires unnecessary priviledges.)
