Next: AVD for Android's SDK gives NullPointerException: because of no recognized XML Schema validation tool?
From: Sthu Deus on 7 Jun 2010 11:00 Good day. Could You please explain, should some security testing repo be specified for a stable + testing Debian, or stable, updates and testing repos is all that should be enabled for the stable, testing with all *for the repos* security fixes? In other words, is there a security repo for testing as there is a security repo for stable? Also, does security team works with volatile repo and therefore can be used for stable only system? And one more question: If a choose a mirror from the list on Debian web site, should there be all the repos of the distro (like stable, testing, etc) - so that I can use the only mirror for all my needs (any repos) OR I have to use several mirrors for diver repos (like stable from one mirror, testing from another, stable updates from third, etc)?

Yes, the security lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this. deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free The deb-src line wrapped, it should all be on one line. > Also, does security team works with volatile repo and therefore can be > used for stable only system? There is security support for testing (Squeeze) also, although most fixes transition from unstable. The security team does upload security fixes for testing if the need arises though. Use the same info for sources.list but replace lenny with squeeze. > And one more question: If a choose a mirror from the list on Debian web > site, should there be all the repos of the distro (like stable, > testing, etc) - so that I can use the only mirror for all my needs (any > repos) OR I have to use several mirrors for diver repos (like stable > from one mirror, testing from another, stable updates from third, etc)? Yes, the mirrors contain oldstable (etch), stable (lenny), testing (squeeze), and unstable (sid). One mirror should do for any of those. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You don't need the deb-src line, unless you are going to do any compiling, and even then it would probably be unlikely that you'd be needing any sources from security.debian.org. > > Also, does security team works with volatile repo and therefore can be > > used for stable only system? http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-volatile/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian -- "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." -- Napoleon Bonaparte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

One mirror should do for any of those. As far as I do remember, - and that why the question arose - I have noticed that diver repo mirrors are organized diver way - as touching the dir.s and probably repo.s they contain therefore I have asked, if I choose a mirror (single, any) - is it shpuld be sufficient for: .. stable .. stable security .. stable updates (is there any difference between: stable and stable.updates OR stable.security and stable.updates?) .. testing .. testing security ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
