Explanation of the default Debian sources?
So I've looked online and I haven't found a clear explanation of the
default Debian source list.
Specially, what do main, updates. proposed-updates and security mean in
the context of /etc/apt/sources.list` and this directory structure
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/?
I can make assumption about what they mean, but I haven't found enough
information to understand if I should, for instance, include updates when
switching to testing. https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList has some
information, but not omits any information on updates or security.
I am fairly new to Debian, and while I think I could just muddle through
the distinctions here, I'd really like just a clear explanation of what is
going on instead of just copy and pasting lines into
/etc/apt/sources.list.
