There.  A command that will take a list of repos.  And if you did that a lot, make it an alias or a function:

 

function addrepos() { for rep in $* ; do add-apt-repository $rep ; done ; }

 

Put in bashrc or whatever and there you go, a single command.

does  'add-apt-repository <whatever>' work like 'apt-get install <whatever>' where you can just list the repositories after one ' add-apt-repository?
