I'm trying to understand how apt-setup works. Just so you know where
I'm coming from, I have a very large install base of Debian Sarge
built from testing installer discs. The problem that I am having is
that after converting my PC (my first and foremost testing box) to
Sarge stable (I even downgraded over 100 packages to become purely
stable) apt-setup still insists on giving me testing sources. I've
been building servers looking forward to the Sarge release, and now
that it's out I want to keep them all at stable. If we hire a new
admin in 6 months and he uses apt-setup to get a different mirror I
don't want it to be testing.
I've found the following in /usr/sbin/apt-setup:
# Figure out which suite to use.
if apt-cache policy | grep "o=Debian,a=" | grep -q
'a=testing'; then
SUITE="testing"
else
SUITE="stable"
fi
The output of `apt-cache policy` is this:
$ apt-cache policy

As you can see, nothing says testing. Yet when I use apt-setup it
always creates a testing source. How is this controlled, and how can
this be fixed? Should this be filed as a bug?
