[APT repository] Backports and security for sarge available + testing dropped!

Now that sarge is out, I reorganized my apt archives.

Security:
The security archive is used to upload security fixes based on the same standards as the official debian security releases. It does not introduce new upstream versions, but just backport fixes. So usually a fix for thunderbird will just upgrade your thunderbird package and not locales et al.

CODE:

deb http://people.debian.org/~asac/security ./
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~asac/security ./

Stable:
The stable archive is used to upload backported packages that I maintain in sid and want to offer the latest version for sarge too. This is different compared to the security archive above in that new features are introduced and maybe a new thunderbird package upgrades all dependents too. If you want real stability use security. If you want the latest for sarge, use this one.

CODE:

deb http://people.debian.org/~asac/stable ./
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~asac/stable ./

Testing:
I dropped support for testing. Go for unstable or wait until the latest packages migrate to the official testing distribution.

Experimental:
My archive to provide preview packages that are typically installable in sid (maybe testing works too). Usually, I add programs here that I don’t find suitable for the official debian sid or experimental distribution. So be aware that packages in here might break or harm your install. Don’t use them unless you know what you are doing.

CODE:

deb http://people.debian.org/~asac/experimental ./
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~asac/experimental ./
