sources.list directory specification
I am trying to compose a sources.list file for each of three machines;
one is for Lenny (oldstable), one is for Squeeze (stable), and one is
for Wheezy (testing).
According to "Index of /pub/debian/dists" at
http://ftp.pl.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/ ,
for Squeeze there are three directories, namely:
=> squeeze
=> squeeze-updates
=> squeeze-proposed-updates
Likewise, for Lenny there are two directories, namely:
=> lenny
=> lenny-proposed-updates
And for Wheezy, there are two directories, namely:
=> wheezy
=> wheezy-proposed-updates
However, the Debian Sources List Generator
(http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/) and numerous sources.list examples
posted on the web by various individuals use the form:
=> lenny/updates
=> squeeze/updates
=> wheezy/updates
rather than:
=> lenny-updates
=> squeeze-updates
=> wheezy-updates
Which form is correct? is it permissible to use either form? may the
forms be mixed within a single sources.list file?
