squeeze sources.list

[sandraider]

where can I find the default sources.list for squeeze (I'd like to upgrade from lenny)

You should be able to generate one from here:

Debian Sources List Generator

thanks for the help, does it matter that it says squeeze(testing), even though it is now stable?

Oops... sorry, didn't notice they've not updated it, but it should work as long as the generated list itself shows "squeeze" in the repo names.

In fact, it might work to put "squeeze" in place of "lenny" in your current list. I've not tried it, so you might want to wait for someone currently running squeeze to confirm, or compare your current list with the generated one to see if simply replacing the release name in the repos would work.

I put the official ones in sorce.list, currently updating it from there now, also downloading a dvd so I'll have a backup

If you use the release name, such as Etch, Lenny, Squeeze, those names stick with their release, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0. Not sure that Etch is usable except with that name. Lenny is now the Old Stable and Squeeze is Stable, Wheezy is Testing. So it depends on what you are trying to achieve. IF you ALWAYS want to stay with the Testing release, use testing as the name where the repo goes. If you want a specific release, choose Lenny, Squeeze, Wheezy, or Sid.

This is my setup on a Debian Testing system:


# Debian
# deb Index of /debian stable main contrib non-free
deb Index of /debian testing main contrib non-free
deb Debian -- Security Information testing/updates main contrib non-free
# deb-src Index of /debian stable main contrib non-free

# mplayer
# deb Debian Multimedia Packages::Home stable main non-free
deb Debian Multimedia Packages::Home testing main non-free

Just comment out the testing ones and uncomment the stable ones for Debian Squeeze, or make it like this:

# Debian
deb Index of /debian stable main contrib non-free
deb Debian -- Security Information stable/updates main contrib non-free
# deb-src Index of /debian stable main contrib non-free

# mplayer
deb Debian Multimedia Packages::Home stable main non-free

If you want to tie it specifically to Squeeze, you can do that too:


# Debian
deb Index of /debian squeeze main contrib non-free
deb Debian -- Security Information squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
# deb-src Index of /debian squeeze main contrib non-free

# mplayer
deb Debian Multimedia Packages::Home squeeze main non-free

thanks for the help, will try updating again, when I get to a better internet connection
