## squeeze sources now that jessie is stable

Fri May 01, 2015 3:09 am

I always find the transitions after a new release confusing. I had 'oldstable' in my squeeze-lts sources .list, checked updates and knew exactly what was going on. I don't want to upgrade squeeze until its last breath. So is this all I need in my sources.list?

Code:
  `deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free
  deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free`

I don't know about "squeeze-lts" but just "squeeze" still works for apt-get update. I just did it. Only thing that didn't work was squeeze-updates. Apparently, I don't have the signing key, but adding that corrects the error.
Note: I learned the hard way not to use "stable" and use the code name instead. That was back when I accidentally upgraded someone else's computer from sarge to etch, which involved an upgrade from xfree86 to xorg. It eventually involved a complete reinstall. When the package manager tells you that it wants to upgrade 1400 packages, take note that something weird is up. Duh.

Thanks. Yeah, I always look at the list pretty carefully. I had both squeeze and oldstable in my sources.list. Can't remember why. I'll wait till I'm really wide awake and have a clear head to sort it out before hitting enter.
