default "Default-Release" for APT

Hi, I read the apt_preferences man page and it says that "To configure the default release in the configuration file, use: APT::Default-Release "stable";". While I have multiple distributions in sources.list file(stable, testing, unstable, jessie-backports), then I don't have the "Default-Release"

ckages which require some features which are provided only by libraries available for "testing" and thus the package can not be available via backports. thanks, Martin On Wed, Dec 7, 2016 at 2:37 AM, Dan Ritter wrote: > On Wed, Dec 07, 2016 at 01:45:45AM +0200, Martin T wrote: >&g

Advantages of Debian "backports" over "testing"?

Hi, what are advantages of using Debian "backports"("jessie-backports" in sources.list file) over "testing"("testing" in sources.list file)? As I understand, "backports" does not have all the packages from "testing". On the other hand, packages in "backports" are specially recompiled for "stable"

Detect upgradable packages in shell script ran as a non-root user

Hi, I would like to run a cron job which periodically checks if I have upgradable packages. One way to do it is probably like this: $ apt-get upgrade -s | grep -q "^0 upgraded" In case exit code is >0, then there are upgradable packages. The second solution I came up with is: $ for package in $

Hi, I made a fresh minimal(no desktop environment, open-source "radeon" driver, CEDAR firmware, X and dwm) Debian 8.5 installation few days ago. Since that I have had two occasions where all of the sudden USB devices(USB keyboard and mouse) no longer work. I'm able to access my PC over SSH(or use

So how do you dynamically specify getting a connection to be secured or not. If it's only Gmail, why van I telnet to their port and get their mail server? Seems counterintuitive. On Aug 25, 2016 5:54 AM, "Mark Fletcher" wrote: > > On Thu, 25 Aug 2016 at 18:16, John T. Ha

Getting fqdn, postfix, Comcast to all play nice together

I have the following issue (seems to be common although my details seem to differ): 1. I recently registered a new domain as WWW.whatever.org or whatever. 2. Postfix gets installed. 3. "Internet site " is enabled fqdn added. 4. Email cannot be sent out to my Gmail address since it magically "ti
