That *is* the "volatile service" for Wheezy. The "*-updates" repository on the master server (or one of its mirrors) has completely replaces the "debian- volatile" repository on volatile.debian.org. (The "debian-volatile-sloppy" was effectively replaced by backports for a while, I don't think it ever got a package during the Lenny release.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

In my case, there are tweeks that can be useful to others: 1) the non-comment entries in /etc/approx/approx.conf should be: debian http://ftp.debian.org/debian securityhttp://security.debian.org/ Some comments in the skeleton version installed by the approx package are misleading on this issue, IMHO. 2) In my case, the approx instance is not on localhost for most of my hosts, It is on the host I call 'gq', but which is also 192.168.1.12. I use the IP address, not gq because the IP can be used in conjunction with netinst CD. So my working version of /etc/apt/sources.list on my main computer is deb http://192.168.1.12:/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib deb http://192.168.1.12:/security/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb http://192.168.1.12:/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free Note that none of these five lines (in two different files on two different hosts) contain 'volatile'. But it appears that a 'volatile' service is not yet running for wheezy, so I have the 'wheezy-updates' line commented out on the hosts that are running wheezy. I'm happy.

So the replacement line in approx.conf should be volatile http://stable-updates/debian-volatile ? or volatile http://stable-updates/stable-updates? or what? The volatile on the left side is the name of a directory within the /var/cache/approx on my server at home. I don't think it needs to be changed. Correct me if that is wrong. But note that there *two* instances of the string 'volatile' in the maintainer's suggestion. Are they both to be changed? or not? -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
