How does my upcoming Debian bookworm v12's sources.list and plan look from updated bullseye v11.8?

[ant]

https://pastebin.com/raw/uYpta9eU for my sources.list comparison. I'll do a backup, use bookworm v12's sources.list, time sudo apt-get clean && time sudo apt-get update && time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, reboot, etc. Will this be OK? I read https://www.debian.org/releases/bookwor ... ng.en.html too.

http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/My ... rStuff.txt for my setup (secondary PC is the one with Debian). It's just a simple desktop and server PC. Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon so I can try it later this week.

Hello,

Some notes:
a. Please note that non-free is different from non-free-firmware.
If you want non-free-firmware you should add that
b. better use a mirror near your location
c. follow the instructions, specially 4.2 onwards
d. i recommend executing the commends one by one (without &&)

Like this since this is getting confusing? I will worry about the mirror servers later.

Confusing indeed , but with which we make short work of on all our laptops ; these are the settings we have in use ;

Interesting. No deb-src, eh? I rarely compile from source especially if no binary packages for those programs.

Why write a new file to replace? Just make a backup copy and use sed to replace bullseye with bookworm?

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/bullseye/bookworm/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

*EDIT you do need to manually add the non-free-firmware though.
