sources.list files for Ubuntu and Debian ======================================== The files have been named so they are easily to fetch with script, `lsb_release -sr` returns release e.g. `14.04` or `testing` and `lsb_release -rc` returns codename e.g. `jessie`. `mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt` and `deb.debian.org` are used so the files work everywhere and the nearest mirrors are always used no matter where you are. Which script to use? -------------------- * `install` for Ubuntu and Debian testing/unstable. * If you run `ìnstall` on Debian Stable, sources.list will say `stable` and when new Debian becomes stable apt wants to upgrade to it directly and that can be dangerous. * `install.debian` for not-rolling Debian. Usage ----- 1. Become root with `sudo su -` 2. Download the script using appropiate distribution and curl **or** wget depending on which you have installed: * Ubuntu/Debian testing/unstable: * `curl -L http://git.io/vqhtJ > sources.list.install` * `wget http://git.io/vqhtJ -O sources.list.install` * Debian * `curl -L http://git.io/vqhtF > sources.list.install` * `wget http://git.io/vqhtF -O sources.list.install` 3. `chmod +x sources.list.install` 4. `./sources.list.install` 5. *optionally* `rm sources.list.install`
