sources.list file
sources.list file
Hello,
What is the correct syntax for adding the security repository in the "sources.list" file:
is it:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
or:
deb http://security.debian.org/ strech/updates main contrib non-free
the same for Jessie:
is it:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
or :
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
I mean should I add "debian-security /" in the URL or not

Re: sources.list file
^ I seem to remember sites like that causing problems in the past, it's better that the user understands what the file contains rather than rely on a black box to fill it for them (IMO).
The canonical reference is https://deb.debian.org/, FWIW, but the Debian wiki has a page about sources.

Re: sources.list file
If you want the "debian-security" updates, then you need to include it, as shown in the wiki.by pipa85 »I mean should I add "debian-security /" in the URL or not
If you do not want the "debian-security" updates, then do not use it.
Like wise, if you do not want the "source files", then do not use the "src"
lines , IE:
Code: Select all
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
I would not use a "automatic" sources generator, it could add sources that you do not want to use, but again , that is entirely up to you.

Re: sources.list file
I think you have misunderstood what the OP has asked, it is not whether to enable security updates but which address line in the First post is correctGarryRicketson wrote:If you want the "debian-security" updates, then you need to include it, as shown in the wiki.
If you do not want the "debian-security" updates, then do not use it.
@pipa85, I have mine set to :-pipa85 wrote:is it:

Re: sources.list file
Ok, maybe I misunderstand the OP, and the wiki does not show this one:
^(It might not work)^
So you are right the OP should use this one:
Code: Select all
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

Re: sources.list file
Thank you for your answers.
And for jessie:
this:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
or this:
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
on the internet I often find the second possiblity so why this confusion

Re: sources.list file
I am not certain of this but I would guess that the url remain the same and just the version (stretch/jessie) should change. Sorry I don't use Jessie any longer so cannot check this.

Re: sources.list file
My sources:
The apt-transport-https package is needed to resolve those addresses; cdn-aws is the cloud provider for the redirect service and hitting them directly saves a few bounces.
Code: Select all
deb https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
#deb-src http://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
deb https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main
#deb-src http://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main
deb https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
#deb-src https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

It is rather funny that you never cared to visit the one site that you are pasting over and over.pipa85 wrote:Thank you for your answers.

Had you care to visit https://www.debian.org/security/, you would have read that the currently preferred source is indeed
Code: Select all
