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 httpredir.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
