Very often now I have seen sources.list
files (including my own) that contain lines like these:
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
I understood the meaning of the components (main
, contrib
and non-free
). I also partially understood the meaning of the distribution (wheezy
, testing
, stable
etc.) and that of the path. This is all well documented in the wiki.
- But what does the
/updates
or-updates
mean? - Should I write it with
-
or/
myself? - How am I supposed to know that?
