Hi all,
I have a simple question, which aways appear with a new debian-version.
When a new version is official released (let`s say: from bookworm to trixie),
what is best way to edit the sources.list?
Better means, "delete/comment all bookworm entries" or "leave entries for
bookworm and trixie for a while in parallel"?
In the last decade I did the second thing, but maybe I did it wrong in the
last decades.
Thanks for some short hints.
I can't tell you if it is the "best" way to do things, but I have always
just deleted the entries associated with the previous release when I
upgraded distros. I never have noticed any disadvantages when doing that.
But, maybe you should also consider migrating to *.sources files? The
old sources.list file will become deprecated sometime in the future now
that Debian has migrated to the new system.
