If I'm correct there is no more volatile at all.
So, if this is correct, the change would be disabling everything
related to it.
Trying to do so without breaking my beloved translations would leato
this template:
Template: apt-setup/volatile_host
Type: string
Default: volatile.debian.org
Description: for internal use; can be preseeded
Host to use for volatile updates
....to be removed. And this one:
# All services are enabled by default to allow preseeding
Template: apt-setup/services-select
Type: multiselect
Choices-C: security, volatile
# SEC_HOST and VOL_HOST are host names (e.g. security.debian.org)
# Translators: the *entire* string should be under 55 columns
# including host name. In short, KEEP THIS SHORT and, yes, that's tricky
# :sl3:
__Choices: security updates (from ${SEC_HOST}), volatile updates (from ${VOL_HOST})
Default: security, volatile
# :sl3:
_Description: Services to use:
Debian has two services that provide updates to releases: security and
volatile.
.
Security updates help to keep your system secured against attacks. Enabling
this service is strongly recommended.
.
Volatile updates provide more current versions for software that changes
relatively frequently and where not having the latest version could reduce
the usability of the software. An example is the virus signatures for a virus
scanner. This service is only available for stable and oldstable releases.
To be changed to:
# All services are enabled by default to allow preseeding
Template: apt-setup/services-select
Type: multiselect
Choices-C: security
# SEC_HOST is a host name (e.g. security.debian.org)
# Translators: the *entire* string should be under 55 columns
# including host name. In short, KEEP THIS SHORT and, yes, that's tricky
# :sl3:
__Choices: security updates (from ${SEC_HOST})
Default: security
# :sl3:
_Description: Services to use:
Security updates help to keep your system secured against attacks. Enabling
this service is strongly recommended.
And, of course, changing the relevant code in maintainer scripts...
(OK, that makes "services", aka plural, but leaves room opened for
more services in the future....and you guys will jump on my dead body,
now, to change strings...:-))
