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?
