Alternative to manually install 3rd party repositories

There is an alternative to manually manage repositories and keys and that is to use extrepo

extrepo is a curated list of 3rd party repositories and keys and it's a debian package.
It's only been around a couple of years so I don't know how widely used it is yet.

Installation

To install it run

apt install extrepo Add repository

To add postgreSQL repository for example:

extrepo enable postgresql Disable repository

To disable a repository, for example:

extrepo disable postgresql Where do files go?

extrepo puts apt config files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as you would manually but manages keys in it's own directory /var/lib/extrepo/keys

Repositories available

Currently these repositories are in there:

Just for reference (mine) what are you using the rPi for? I have two rPi 3b+ and 1 rPi Zero running currently;

rPi 3b+ running Diet-Pi hosting APCups, CUPS, and Unifi Controller rPi 3b+ running Raspbian for HamRadio activies (using Build-A-Pi found on YouTube) rPi Zero - DMR radio hotspot (transceiver to internet gateway)

Still could use one or two more

Desktops

I would go with the rPi 4 as a desktop... bit more power and more memory..

That's the first model that offers a real desktop option. No one has suggested trying anything else.
