 Generating Client APT/Yum Configurations
 ========================================
 
-.. versionadded:: 1.2.0
+The Packages plugin has native support for generating Yum and Apt
+configs.  Simply add entries like these to the appropriate bundles:

+.. code-block:: xml
 
-The Packages plugin has native support for generating Yum configs.
-You must set ``yum_config`` in ``bcfg2.conf`` to the path to the yum
-config file you want to generate::
+    <Path name="/etc/yum.repos.d/bcfg2.repo"/>
+    <Path name="/etc/apt/sources.d/bcfg2"/>
+
+If you want to change the path to either of those files, you can set
+``yum_config`` or ``apt_config`` in ``bcfg2.conf`` to the path to the
+config files you want to generate::
 
     [packages]
     yum_config=/etc/yum.repos.d/all.repo
+    apt_config=/etc/apt/sources.d/all
 
-Then add the corresponding Path entry to your Yum bundle.
+If you need to distribute a config to different places on different
+hosts, you can use the :ref:`server-plugins-structures-altsrc`
+attribute, e.g.:
 
-.. versionadded:: 1.1.0
+.. code-block:: xml
 
-APT repository information can be generated automatically from
-software sources using :doc:`./tgenshi/index` or :doc:`./tcheetah`. A
-list of source urls are exposed in the client's metadata as
-``metadata.Packages.sources``. E.g.::
+    <Bundle name="yum">
+      <Group name="sles">
+        <Path name="/etc/yum/yum.repos.d/bcfg2.repo"
+              altsrc="/etc/yum.repos.d/bcfg2.repo"/>

+      <Group name="sles" negate="true">
+        <Path name="/etc/yum.repos.d/bcfg2.repo"/>
