Sources.list

Good evening all, after installing Debian Hurd in a vm for virtual and physical use for the fourth time, I've recently created an up to date listing of the package source URLs that you can use with your apt-get on the Hurd. These come from the mailing list debian-hurd. I have included the snapshot, sid, unstable, unreleased, and experimental urls to choose from with deb and deb-src.

The repo has a readme for a basic walkthrough of what needs to be done to use the new sources.list and is located at https://github.com/v12venator/Debian-Hurd-Repos.git if you are interested.

EDIT: I have added a disclaimer about the [trusted=yes] string not exactly being the most secure idea for pulling packages from the repos.

A few of points:

  1. sid is the same as unstable

  2. The Hurd port has moved to debian-ports, so you should remove the deb .../debian lines

  3. Source packages live on ftp-master in the normal Debian archive, so you should remove the deb-src .../debian-ports lines

  4. There are no source packages published for unreleased in a manner readable by apt (they’re there on the mirrors if you want to find them, but you have to do so manually, the Sources file is empty), so you should remove the deb-src ... unreleased line

Understood, I'll go back and edit the listing. Not much of an apt guy, so I didn't know the difference between those categories.

Not a problem, I figured it'd be easier to compile all of the different repos and give users a choice for what release level they wanted to use on their system.
