Re: Some clarification is needed on Debian repos.
Thank You for Your time and answer, Alan: deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free Use the same info for sources.list but replace lenny with squeeze. Is it for testing OR unstable - if I change lenny w/ squeeze? Yes, the mirrors contain oldstable (etch), stable (lenny), testing (squeeze), and unstable (sid). One mirror should do for any of those. As far as I do remember, - and that why the question arose - I have noticed that diver repo mirrors are organized diver way - as touching the dir.s and probably repo.s they contain therefore I have asked, if I choose a mirror (single, any) - is it shpuld be sufficient for: . stable . stable security . stable updates (is there any difference between: stable and stable.updates OR stable.security and stable.updates?) . testing . testing security ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Some clarification is needed on Debian repos.
Good day. Could You please explain, should some security testing repo be specified for a stable + testing Debian, or stable, updates and testing repos is all that should be enabled for the stable, testing with all *for the repos* security fixes? In other words, is there a security repo for testing as there is a security repo for stable? Also, does security team works with volatile repo and therefore can be used for stable only system? And one more question: If a choose a mirror from the list on Debian web site, should there be all the repos of the distro (like stable, testing, etc) - so that I can use the only mirror for all my needs (any repos) OR I have to use several mirrors for diver repos (like stable from one mirror, testing from another, stable updates from third, etc)?

The security team does upload security fixes for testing if the need arises though. Use the same info for sources.list but replace lenny with squeeze.
