Just downloaded and installed 17.01 and it is awesome!

I noticed in update manager that not many repos were ticked.

If I want a Rolling Release what are all repos that I need ticked?

Thanks.

For full rolling, just tick all the ones unticked and you'll notice updates rolling in right away.

Yes, then you only get updates through our own channels (those labelled netrunner-1701).
Example is firefox, which should update after a fresh install since we provided a newer version via the repo labelled "plasmazilla".

What if I use firefox-esr from snapshot? It's already out of date.
I feel vulnerable.

That's awesome! Smile

So, to enable rolling, I just tick the first repository, leaving the backports entries?
Or, do I check everything?

Will you update the iso though?
Im looking for newbie-friendly debian distro to recommend to friends.

On the chance someone else is stuck where I stubbed my toe today:

"Click all repos" won't work if you do not have the appropriate repos. Ahhhh! I spent a couple hours tracking this down. I HAD some repos containing the word backport SO I ASSUMED these were the ones. I think perhaps the repo structure has been evolving since the time of my installer.

Anyway, I'm golden after adding this repo:

http://ds9-eu.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/dci/packages/netrunner/

netrunner-backports

backports calamares ds9-artwork ds9-common extras frameworks kde-applications netrunner-desktop netrunner plasma plasmazilla qt5
