I've been using Testing for about a decade now with very few problems. But now I'm moving to Stable. Just wanted to mae sure I'm doing this right.
I last updated using Testing on the friday, then the release happened on saturday. I changed my sources.list as below, did an apt update; apt upgrade, and uncerimoniously there were no updates to install, my system was already on bullseye. Easy. My intention is that when I upgrade or install something from now on, I want to take the latest most resonable version of it. If there's a security update, I want that version first. Normally if I install something, it should come from stable. However, if there's a backport of that thing, I prioritize the newer backport instead. But what if something got updated from backports and then later there's a security update for it in bullseye-security. Since I prioritize bullseye-security, what's going to happen? Is it going to reinstall a lower version number from bullseye-security? Lastly, I want to be able to manually install things from testing and from experimental.
