Updating Debian in a very secure way
Hello!
As already discribed in a prior posting I want to update my system via
apt-get dist-upgrade. In order to only get secure packages, which lines
should be deleted from my sources.list (some commented out lines have
already been deleted)?
# Security updates for "stable"
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free
# Stable
deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/pub/debian stable main contrib non-free

# Blades Repository (pppoeconf & co)
deb http://people.debian.org/~blade/testing ./
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~blade/testing ./
I also heard of putting these neat three lines into sources.list to
recieve security updates automatically:
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security stable updates
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
deb ftp://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
Can you recommend that? By what action will these been proofed (via
dist-upgrade)?
Thanks in advance
Moritz
