The APT-HOWTO doesn't mention code-names for the 'Default-Release'
option and my experiments suggest they don't work at all.
Hmm, unless you have the the sources labeled as them...
IOW like this:
## Old Stable - Debian (currently Woody)
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
## Stable - Debian (currently Sarge)
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
## Testing - Debian (currently Etch)
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
## Unstable - Debian (always SID, or Still In Developement)
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
Then they do work. And I just tested it here on the very machine I am
typing from... and it does work with the release labels. Perhaps I
should make a second sources.list this way. To remove any confusion.
How did you test? I used 'apt-cache policy' after each change. When I
used codenames it was like the entry never existed.
