A question about sources.list

michalng · 08-15-2011, 07:10 AM

With Debian 6, there is a new item in /etc/apt/sources.list

Quote:

deb http://some_mirror/Linux/Debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://some_mirror/Linux/Debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free

which is I've previously asked about and also detailed here

After so many months of stable, I've actually discovered that I did not included the above repo.

Did I miss something important, such that I should add it in now?

It's what used to be known as the volatile repo - add it to your sources and

Code:

aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade

to see what it wants to install. The debian.org link you provided above explains what it's for.
