Hi all,
I am going to use VirtualBox in part because VMware will not run on Mac OS. I
could find no installer for the next release 'Jessie' and so assumed that a
suitable Linux from which to install was
debian-7.1.0-i386-kde-CD-1.iso
where, after installation, cat /etc/debian_version will generate the expected
7.1
and cat /etc/apt/sources.list generates
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.1.0 _Wheezy_ - Official i386 kde-CD
Binary-1 20130615-21:54]/ wheezy main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.1.0 _Wheezy_ - Official i386 kde-CD
Binary-1 20130615-21:54]/ wheezy main
deb http://mirrors.ece.ubc.ca/debian/ wheezy main deb-src
http://mirrors.ece.ubc.ca/debian/ wheezy main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://mirrors.ece.ubc.ca/debian/ wheezy-updates main
deb-src http://mirrors.ece.ubc.ca/debian/ wheezy-updates main
so, if I do not care to have a mixed "stable / testing" distribution, and if I
want to use GNUmed and other packages from testing …
1. do I replace the above lines with something like obtained from
http://debgen.simplylinux.ch
deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
and I then run apt-get update?
2. does this then upgrade my distribution from Wheezy to Jessie?
3. do I need to first, or afterward, create an /etc/apt/apt.conf containing
APT::Default-Release "testing";
APT::Install-Recommends "true";
or is the above (and pinning in an /etc/apt/preferences) needed only for a
mixed system?
