and therefore having squeeze installed and not lenny any more, what
should my sources.list be pointing to?
- before it was pointing to stable and testing. Now, as I understand,
stable repos as long as it points to lenny, I need not (is it
correct?), and I need no more a testing for testing - meaning testing
for squeeze (the next coming release after squeeze).
So, the only repo I need now is testing, and, may backports for squeeze - is it correct?
Thank You for Your time.

Use "squeeze" and you will stay on stable (squeeze) after the upcoming
release. Updates after that will change little on your system (security
updates only).
Use "testing" and you will move (seamlessly) to wheezy (testing) after
the release. Updates will after that will bring newer versions into
your system regularly.
HTH,
David

You should comment out the backports repo until squeeze gets stable, AFAIK backports and volatile are only available for the current stable version of Debian.

No. There is backports for squeeze too - to mix up not w/ the backborts
of now stable branch.

That depends. Immediately after the release it might pour with (more or
less coordinated) updates. It's probably the most inconsistent period
during the lifetime of a given release. For this reason I recommend
moving from stable to testing only after things have settled down a bit.

Andrei

Add the repository to your sources.list, update and then use aptitude to
search for packages with the respective origin [~O or
?origin(repository)], but it's simpler to just open the repository in a
browser and look in the pool directory

The dir. contains other repos packages mixed - making it impossible to
to discern to which backports version it relates to. - As I understand.
Also, I guess You can try it Yourself, here is the link:

Where is this sources list, and where do you find a list of repos to add
to it?
And then how do you make synaptic open the "correct" repo, or does it
combine all the various sources into one humongous list? Sorry to be so
dense, but I've wondered about that for some time now.
