Hi.

I am not using testing - yet.  Here is the current /etc/apt/sources.list :

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.2.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 NETINST
Binary-1 20150906-11:09]/ jessie main

deb      http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie            main
contrib non-free
deb-src  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie            main
contrib non-free

deb      http://security.debian.org/      jessie/updates    main
contrib non-free
deb-src  http://security.debian.org/      jessie/updates    main
contrib non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb      http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates    main
contrib non-free
deb-src  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates    main
contrib non-free

# jessie-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
deb      http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports  main
contrib non-free
deb-src  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports  main
contrib non-free




---  So, how about this proposed /etc/apt/sources.list :


# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.2.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 NETINST
Binary-1 20150906-11:09]/ jessie main

deb      http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing            main
contrib non-free
deb-src  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing            main
contrib non-free

deb      http://security.debian.org/      testing/updates    main
contrib non-free
deb-src  http://security.debian.org/      testing/updates    main
contrib non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb      http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing-updates    main
contrib non-free
deb-src  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing-updates    main
contrib non-free

# jessie-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
# deb      http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports  main
contrib non-free
# deb-src  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports  main
contrib non-free

Is this about right, to convert from stable to permanent testing?  Or
has having backports enabled already made it not doable?
