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.
