Hi. I did a fresh install of Debian wheezy. I would like to know which repos to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list.

Re: Software sources
Hello.
Well, if you don't know which repos to add, then you don't have to add anything.
By default, you have everything you need.
... or do I misinterpret the question?

You may post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list here if you wish.
Re: Software sources
I want to install additional packages (like vlc,gimp,firefox...been using Ubuntu and everything was 'direct') which i cant find in the default repos.
These are the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

Re: Software sources
Did you forget to apt-get update && apt-get upgrade?
Edit:
I was wrong, there are also security updates for testing/wheezy and your sources.list seems correct.
Edit1:
You may want to give us the result of:

If this is a desktop you will more than likely want something similar to this:
You might also want the mozilla.debian.net for new iceweasel, and deb-multimedia.org for various codecs and plugins
See the mozilla.debian.net site for the appropriate sources.

Some of these are for Debian Stable. Is it wise to use them for Debian Testing?
Re: Software sources
I believe craigevil may have assumed you were running stable.
For testing you need the testing repo and that's it.

Re: Software sources
Hi,
I was using Debian Squeeze yesterday and there was the software-properties-gtk where I was able to change the server mirror, able to configure automatic updates, etc
Today I'm using the Wheezy version with Gnome 3 and I cant find any similar package to do that, where is it ?

Re: Software sources
I know I can install the old software-properties-gtk, I'm asking if there is a wheezy substitute for it .
thx anyway,

Re: Software sources
The link posted by emariz clearly shows the wheezy version of software-properties-gtk
Re: Software sources
Ok, I'm not making myself clear, what I want is a native wheezy version for the old and native software-properties-gtk, I don't want to install anything to change my software sources, mirrors, etc.
I don't think that directly edit the /etc/apt/source.list is the best way to accomplish it.

Re: Software sources
yeah, and I can remember all the address that I can put on it, very easily, I don't need such dumb tool for this.
And how about schedule updates ? What it needs to be written and where ?
