[SOLVED] Upgrade to Stretch question

#1 Post by ticojohn »

I am currently running Jessie. In fact i recently installed Jessie on a second drive so that I can use it as my experimental platform for upgrading.
In my Jessie sources list I have included contrib, non-free and backports.

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

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

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

# backports
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
My question are this: Should I remove contrib, non-free and backports before doing the upgrade?
I read https://www.debian.org/releases/testing ... -upgrading and do not see any reference to my question. maybe I missed something.

I am not irrational, I'm just quantum probabilistic.
