Not that installing from source is difficult, but I try to find a repository for apps if I can. Apt/Synaptic is what makes Debian so great. I run Debian Sid with a couple of bug fixes from sidux.
So here a rather complete sources.list . Please share yours, especially if you have any apps not in the repos listed below.

Any questions about installing certain things like wireless, video drivers, etc please look through the Debian wiki at http://wiki.debian.org

A few notes
Make sure you do not have any non-us repositories listed as they were made obsolete when Sarge became stable.
Sun's Java is now in the Official Debian Unstable non-free repo.
The AMD-64 repositories from Debian are now in the normal Sid repos.
Adobe Flash is in non-free for testing/sid use backports.org for stable.
If you want the non-free nvidia/ati drivers you need contrib non-free.

This list covers Stable, Testing and Sid please use only the repos that apply to your release. Please do not mix releases unless you know what you are doing and use apt-pinning if you choose to do so. This list covers pretty much everything including the kitchen sink, only use repos that you trust and uses as few as you need, especially when doing an apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade. Also do not mix the use of aptitude and apt, pick one and stick with it.

Since there is a similar thread in the SuSE/Novell forum which was stickied, I am stickying this thread. Keep those repositories coming. Craigevil - if you mail Jeremy, I am sure he will change the thread title for you.

Dead Parrot

If you're running Debian testing, you should add the security updates repository to your sources.list . More info available here:

http://secure-testing-master.debian.net/

EDIT:
The security archive for Debian testing has been moved from secure-testing.debian.net to security.debian.org.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel.../msg00006.html

Users of Debian testing should change the security repository lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to these:

deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free

THEHERO

I am just wondering if I am correct in assuming that you no longer need

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main

in the sources list and can replace it with

deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing testing/security-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing testing/security-updates main contrib non-free

Thanks

Dead Parrot

That would be correct. Check out the sizes of the "Packages" lists in these two directories:

http://security.debian.org/dists/tes...n/binary-i386/
http://secure-testing.debian.net/deb...n/binary-i386/

XavierP

I can't believe I haven't stickied this thread. Remedied.

[edit] I had. What a fool[/edit]

hyllplan

If I want to run unstable (SID), should I use the security from testing then? e.g.:
deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing testing/security-updates main contrib non-free
BTW this line gives me an error:
"GPG error: http://secure-testing.debian.net testing/security-updates Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 946AA6E18722E71E"
I guess I have to add the public key somehow, via a package?

hyllplan

okey done some checking:
"If you're running Unstable there are no security updates available. Hopefully problems will be resolved by new uploads as soon as they are available - however even this is not gaurenteed." (http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/241)

The Public key I needed can be found on the following website:
http://secure-testing-master.debian.net/
