• How does my upcoming Debian bookworm v12's sources.list and plan look from updated bullseye v11?

    From ant@ant@zimage.comANT (Ant) to alt.os.linux.debian,alt.os.debian on Wed Nov 29 06:46:25 2023
    From Newsgroup: alt.os.linux.debian

    https://pastebin.com/raw/uYpta9eU for my sources.list comparison. I'll
    do a backup, use bookworm v12's sources.list, time sudo apt-get clean &&
    time sudo apt-get update && time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, reboot, etc.
    Will this be OK? I read https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
    too.

    http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/MyComputerStuff.txt for my setup (secondary PC is the one with Debian). Thank you for reading and
    hopefully answering soon so I can try it later this week. :)

    Codename is changed and non-free-firmware is available and can be used
    if needed in the sources.list.

    Do you really need the dev-src lines to retrieve source code?
    If not, disable them, so they are not being checked every time apt

    Don't I need them for source codes to compile stuff when binary packages don't exist?

    You need them for retrieving source code of the debian packages. Those
    packages are also available as binaries.

    If you need to compile source code from elsewhere, you need compiler
    tools, but those are in the normal binary repo and not in deb-src.

    For those the deb-src repos are unsuitable.

    Interesting. Hmm, I need to remove their packages if they were
    downloaded. How do I determine if they were downloaded and installed? I already upgraded to Bookworm last night with very few issues.
