The existing add-repository parameter only supports apt-add-repository
(PPAs and simple repo formats). Many third-party repos (NVIDIA, Docker,
GitHub CLI, etc.) require downloading a GPG signing key and adding a
sources list entry with signed-by= referencing that keyring.
The new apt-sources input accepts multi-line entries in the format:
key_url | source_spec
Features:
- Downloads GPG keys, auto-detects armored vs binary format
- Supports both URL-based source files and inline deb lines
- Auto-detects deb822 (.sources) vs traditional (.list) format
- Injects signed-by= into source entries when not already present
- Removes conflicting pre-existing source files that reference the
same repo URL with a different keyring path
- Includes apt-sources content in cache key hash
- Validates HTTPS-only key URLs and proper line format
- Forces apt update when apt-sources is specified (bypasses staleness check)
