Sources.list for Debian Lenny Stable
Hello guys,
I am looking for the best sources.list there is for Debian/Lenny Stable, can someone help me out? I got the following from the website of sources.list generator, but I am not convince because for the last 6 days I did not got any update to do, my system been for 6 days straight up to date so, I am not convince at all because it is odd, here is my sources.list: Code:
############################################################# PD: I got Germany Debian servers because they are pretty fast nothing more and also I am running on my Desktop Xfce4 that I loved, but, I would like to know if there is any repository for updates on this wonderfull Desktop Enviroment. Cheers!! |
It looks fine. Why would you expect updates so frequently? It's Debian Stable, it doesn't change much.
|
"lenny" is the stable release, so it won't get many updates, only when there's some potentially serious security problem. That sources.list looks OK.
Beaten by a faster typer again. |
Well, I am asking because with Debian Squeeze that I had before I had updates everyday, that is why it was odd to me. About Xfce4 there is any repository? Anything else I should add?
Cheers for replying me!! |
Debian Squeeze is the testing branch, so it changed much more rapidly.
XFCE4 should be in the normal repos. |
Unofficial Debian Stable xfce4.6 backports http://www.debian-desktop.org/doku.php/start
# XFCE 4.6.0 # i386,amd64 # deb http://www.debian-desktop.org/pub/linux/debian/xfce46 lenny xfce460 # deb-src http://www.debian-desktop.org/pub/linux/debian/xfce46 lenny xfce460 Shames repo for compiz hasn't been maintained for over a yr, might be a good idea to remove it from your sources.list |
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e.list-330913/ ? (see later posts as the thread is old)
|
ok guys, thank you very much for your help, I think that my sources.list is all right after all. Just one comment I take out shames from compiz and I add the Xfce repositories that craigevil just point me out, anything else? I keep the rest?
Cheers! |
Could add the tovid repository if you want a program for converting avi, flv, or wmv into mpg files for creating dvds.
Code:
# tovid Code:
# Quake2 Code:
# backports Code:
# Samsung Unified Linux Driver Code:
# gcompris repository |
Just 2 more questions guys:
1) What is the repository Lenny and half for? 2) The backports repository is it good to have it enable, even after installing openoffice 3, is it any more uses for it? Is it good to get updates from it? Cheers + Thanks!! |

Be careful with the backports repo. Especially if you want Openoffice.org. I have been a big fan of Debian Lenny and plan to stay with it for some time. But I also have a need for some newer software. Specifically Openoffice. I tried to use the backports repo, and OO.o works fine. But the dependencies it pulls in overwrites some of the libs needed by GNUCASH. If you load OO.o from backports and use gnucash, it will segfault when you try to open an account. Instead it's ok to use the OO.o downloaded from the OO.o website.
