Question

I’m writing some bash scripts to provision a Linode server of mine. I am trying to find some documentation for the python-software-properties package. Installing this package adds the ability to do something like the following:

$ add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable

Does anybody know where I can find documentation about python-software-properties, or know of the extra commands it adds?

Answer 1

“know of the extra commands it adds” – dpkg -L python-software-properties shows only the add-apt-repository in /usr/bin/, so it’s the only command this package adds.

See man add-apt-repository for the documentation.
