bookworm which repo?

[Hans]

Hi folks,

just a little question.

A fresh install is showing an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list for

1. bookworm
2. bookworm-security
and
3. bookworm-updates

The last one is somehow confusing me, either I missed somethin in the
documentation or soemthing has changed since the release of bookworm.

Just a question. The first two are clear, but "bookworm-updates" is new for me.

Instead of this I entered "bookworm-backports", which was, as the
documentation said, recommended at time of the installation

However, please note: I did not do a fresh install at the release date of
bookworm, but an upgrade from buster to bookworm, so it might
be, the entry for "bookworm-backports" was recommended at that time.

So, should I use all four entries or do you recommend to skip one of it?

My system is running fine!

Best regards

Hans

Thanks for the advice.

So, bookworm-updates is recommended, bookworm-backports is optional.

At upgrade time the documentation said something else (I suppose, because it
was an upgrade no fresh installation)

Well, the problem is solved.

Thanks for the hint.

Best
